Great for pre-teens/teens

I read this for a YA literature class, and I was a major fan. Can't say I "relate" to the narrator too much because I'm a college aged guy, but I still found it a well written, enjoyable read. What both surprised me most was how open, honest and real the narration came off as. Well done, Macker.

Great book for teenagers. It has a good balance of straightforward advice and real life stories of quiet kids. It is not about how to stop being quiet and become an extrovert, it is about embracing quiet and fitting in, and thriving. Lots and lots of advice for school, finding friends, hobbies and interests.

Great trick for a pre-teen.  I used it as a stocking stuffer for a 10 year old.

Happy with this choice. I have a 14 yr old daughter. We have been thru all the baseline education and earlier type books. She finished Health class in her freshman class just after Christmas, and I figured now was a good time. I read it first before giving to her. I am a nurse and literally have no issues talking about any subject in this book. I gave it to her, she was embarrassed, but I told her to read it and let me know if she had any questions. A week later we had a great conversation- I answered some really
good questions. My daughter said she liked how the author presented the material- she said it was "real."

This devotional is perfect for preteens / teens---it's easy to read, has pertinent scripture passages listed, and questions for journaling and/or discussions. Great resource for youth groups or a young Christian struggling with promoting and defending their faith in a school setting.

This is a great book for young people. I have a home preschool and at nap time I read a chapter from a chapter book each day. We read through At The Movies at the end of the school year. I had several children graduating, five going to kindergarten and one going to first grade. They enjoyed me reading it, but part of it were a bit over their heads. I recommend a little older. My 13 year old was also in the room while we read and she enjoyed the story.

It was very well done. It kept you thinking about different possibilities for who did it. It also went into some basic faith questions that children and preteens might ask themselves and their friends. This book had great answers. I believe it guided the reader to think deeper into what they believe and why.

I loved the relationship between her and her parents. It was one of honestly and respect. They had arguments and didn't agree on everything but they listened to each other and worked it out. I recommend this series to preteen and young teens. Great reading.

This book is a great read for youths who are just getting interested in poetry and/or learning about the physical or emotional aspects of life. Although I'm not really in the target age bracket for this book, I did read it and I really enjoyed it.

I bought this book for my daughter and I to use (she is 10 almost 11). She had a similar style book that she filled out with a friend (one side for her, one side for the friend). This book is definitely a little more mature though. It has a few "list" type entries but mostly it is in "essay" form where the book asks you to describe something in a few sentences/paragraph. This means a bit more writing/investment of time so it's more suited to middle school and above I think. So far we are enjoying filling it out. Recommended as a nice way to connect with your daughter as she begins to grow up.

The Code is right on point.  It is relatable to what I am trying to instill in my teenage daughter and her friends.  This is a great read for their summer book club right before they enter high school.

My daughter loves this book. She is a pre teen and has already read it twice and it encourages her to ask me questions.

This book, along with all of the other American Girl self help books, is an excellent tool for parents of pre-teen and young teen girls.  My daughter is only nine (soon to be 10 in a few months) and she is already well into puberty. (How is this even possible!)  She started getting curious about boys this year, and much to my dismay, I have even found scribblings in her room that say "I love ____ so much!"  I immediately took it upon myself to go searching for help on how to have a discussion with my daughter since I have no clue, and my parents never had a discussion with me, so I am starting from scratch here. I pre-read the book, and found the first half of it to be perfect for us. It explains what her feelings are and why she is going through what she is experiencing and gives some tips for dealing with boys.

That being said, personally I feel that the second half of the book is a little mature for her now at this age. It deals more with going steady, girls fighting over boys, and dating which is NOT happening any time soon in this household. So, what I did was get one of those black binder clips and told her that she can only read the part that is not in the binder clip by herself. If she wants to read further, she can, but we have to do it together. She does not read the book in private so we can keep tabs on it. However, if a younger girl were to read the second half, I don't feel it is racy or anything like that, so it wouldn't be the end of the world or anything. I just would like to be there to help explain that this is what she will be experiencing as an older girl, and it is not time for her to be going steady at this point.

Overall, a very excellent tool to use and when the dog destoyed our first copy, I didn't hesitate to order it again to keep around as a reference she can go back to again and again.

If you've got a young teenager that's starting to get into the other gender, this is a great book to have them read. It uses humor and real life examples to talk about what's really going on. It's a good reminder for the parents on what these kids are going through. Times have really changed and we need to bring in all the tools we can to help our kids.
