Post-it Notes from Underground (Hardcover)

Simon's circumstances mean he takes a minimum wage job cleaning a factory. Every morning the cleaning team are left motivational notes by the supervisor. People and especially management only see them as cleaners but when Simon appears in a national newspaper their views change. It is a story of class, solidarity, kindness and comradeship where it it not the job you have that defines you but how you treat others that does.
