No Props is one of the biggest selling education books we have - no activity leader should be without it!

Thanks for writing your books - they've been an inspiration to me trying to engage very negative & entrenched behaviours.

Mark has really captured a truck-load of wisdom & placed it into this great resource that should be in every facilitator’s toolkit.
