As a fan of the Chick Soup series of books, i was excited to see this title as my oldest kids hit their teen years. Both of my teenage daughters have pretty much worn out their copies, referring to it often as the issues of their lives, many of them addressed in this book, rear their sometimes ugly heads. We have very little control over the issues that our teens are going to face. What we can do is arm them with as many tools as we can to help them manage and handle those issues, and I feel this book is one of those tools. We also like that it was written with so much input from actual teens. Almost any challenge is easier to face when you know that you are not alone and are not the only one who has been through what you are going through. Every teen should have a copy of this book!
