Our 5 Bestselling Books of 2025
As we head into the final stretch of the year, we wanted to share the books that have resonated most with educators, parents and school leaders in 2025. These titles have flown off our shelves (virtual and physical!), and it's easy to see why – they're addressing the real challenges facing schools and families today.
1. Neuroadvantage by Andrew Fuller. We launched this book earlier this year, and the feedback has been extraordinary. Andrew presents a strengths-based approach to supporting neurodivergent children, helping families and educators shift from deficit thinking to recognising and amplifying the unique advantages of different neurotypes. Andrew is genuinely changing how we support young neurodivergent children, one family at a time.
2. The Pruning Principle by Dr Simon Breakspear and Michael Rosenbrock. Published last year but consistently our top performer throughout 2025, Simon's work on strategic subtraction within education remains as relevant as ever. His message about doing less, and better is one we clearly still need to take up. This book helps school leaders cut through the clutter and focus on what truly drives improvement.
3. Classroom Dynamics by Glen Pearsall. This book has been around for years, and Glen recently updated it with a new chapter on PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance). Honestly, this book should be given to every student as they finish their teaching degree. It's fundamental to understanding classroom behaviour and creating environments where all students can thrive.
4. Educate to Self-Regulate by Dr Shyam Barr. We published this practical guide last year, and it has shone brightly. Shyam helps educators teach students the essential skill of self-regulation, moving beyond behaviour management to genuine skill development. It's evidence-based, accessible and genuinely useful in the classroom.
5. 365 Days of Play by Dale Sidebottom and Paul Campbell, for parents but embraced by principals across the country, this book is bringing more play and joy into schools and homes. It's fun, practical and a reminder of why play matters. Schools love these guys, and I know why.
Thank you to all our authors and to everyone who has supported these books this year. Here's to more evidence-based, practical resources in 2026!
