Book Review: “Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just for Teenagers” (& Giveaway US/CAN 2 Winners Ends 9/14)

Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just for Teenagers: 101 Stories of Inspiration and Support for Teens

By Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Amy Newmark
384 Pages (Paperback)
Date Published: July 26, 2011

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Teenage years are tough, but this book will help teens as they journey through the ups and downs of adolescence. The stories in this book serve as a guide on topics from the daily pressures of life and school to love, friendships, parents, and much more. This collection will encourage, inspire, and amuse teens, showing that, as tough as things can get, they are not alone!

MY THOUGHTS:

There are so many Chicken Soup books out there, but this one is great because it is just for teenagers.  The book is full of 101 short stories (all about 2-3 pages) all from real teenagers.  They are stories categorized as:  Friendship, Life Lessons, Liking Yourself, Love and Relationships, Family Times, Tough Times, Taking a Stand, Giving and Getting Kindness, Funny Moments, and Setting and Reaching Your Goals.  I enjoyed reading the stories and reminiscing about my own teenage years, both the happy and sad times.  I think it would be a great book for any teenager, especially as a great break from school work or just to see that they are not alone in their own teenage drama. 

BUY IT: You can find Chicken Soup for the Soul books at your local bookstore or at Amazon.You can also check out the Chicken Soup for the Soul website for more information and you can even submit your own stories there!
