Featherboy is a fantastic text to teach KS3 students about bullying, and the unseen struggles others may be going through.

Easy to follow, the drama activities look great especially.

I'm afraid this unit of work is not really worth the price. I took a chance and it's not what I hoped for. The activities are rather thin and there is not a great deal in the way of learning in terms of key concepts and techniques for KS3 English. It's more a guided reading through the book with simple activities. I'd say more aligned with KS2.
