Your student has to write about Blood Brothers in the exam hall, with no copy of the play to hand. This Text Guide gets them ready for that. The notes suit AQA, Edexcel, OCR and Eduqas, so they match their own board.

The character pages show the level of detail. Mrs Johnstone is covered through her poverty and her superstition, with boxes on Russell's techniques. Her warmth and her tragic flaws get their own notes. Mrs Lyons is unpicked too, from her wealth to the way she manipulates.

Essay advice runs through the 76-page printed guide, and the Sudden Fail quizzes and Online Edition add board-specific practice.
