Mission: Total Confidence

Ant Middleton turns confidence-building into bite-sized daily exercises for kids, and pairing real playground scenarios (bullies, new teachers, speaking up) with his own stories makes it land as practical rather than preachy. It's the second book in a growing series, so it can feel a little formulaic if your kid already has the first one, but on its own it's a clean, useful pick. He narrates it himself, which gives it a warm, coach-like feel worth the listen.

🎙 Narration: good Author-narrated in a direct, authentic coach voice consistent with his other Mission titles; no separate professional narrator, so quality tracks his own delivery.
