Four brilliant books to help you find a better "You" from Hachette and Wren & Rook.

Now the new School term is truly under way, kids might be finding the going gets tougher as time goes by.

These four books are brilliant for helping you increase your brain power, or to help you organise your time a bit better, or just to help you achieve a greater sense of well being about your own body image.

Digging in first with the brilliant "Top Class Quiz Book" to accompany the CBBC Series hosted by Susan Calman, put your grey matter to the test in a set of tricky questions from the show's top quizmasters.

If you think you're the class brainbox, now's your chance to prove it with questions covering a ton of different and diverse subjects from science to pop culture, to songs through to general knowledge.

Brilliantly presented, and perfect to try out on your friends too!

"Top Class Quiz Book" is out now, published by Hachette. 

For older kids there's the awesome "Body Brilliant" by Nicola Morgan.

This book aims to improve your own opinion of your body, promoting self-help and wellbeing exercises as well as a positive outlook on life, to improve everything from your diet to your own self esteem.

It's not as preachy as other books, and talks to kids on a level that they will understand - and not feel lectured at by. Nicola's expertise covers many subjects and the book is full of brilliant advice about a time in your life when everything seems completely crazy and confusing.

"Body Brilliant" by Nicola Morgan is out now, published by Hachette.



Staying with teen health, and coming from the author of "Mad Girl" is "You Got This: A Fabulously Fearless Guide to Being You" by Bryony Gordon.

Teens will love the tone of this one, showing that you have all the superpowers you need to show the world who you are, and be happy in your own skin - with tons of advice and simple ways to make positive changes that can last throughout your teens and beyond.

Again, a book that feels non-preachy or finger-waggy, Bryony uses her own life experiences to demonstrate that you're never as weird, fat, skinny, ugly, beautiful, crazy or daft as you think you are - and that many problems just build up in your mind and can easily be addressed through simple and easy to follow advice.

"You Got This" by Bryony Gordon is out now, published by Wren and Rook.
