101 Stories of Changes, Choices and Growing Up for Kids Aged 9 - 13.
Our preteen years, ages nine to thirteen, can present some of the most difficult times in our young lives - a period of tremendous physical and emotional change. We're eager to leave the "kid" stage, yet we're uncertain about what adolescence will bring; we start hearing the familiar refrain "wait until you're older" far too often. This book is a companion guide for these transitional years.
Written by and for preteens, this uplifting collection of stories touches on the emotions and situations we experience every day: making and losing friends, fitting in while keeping our personal identity, discovering the opposite sex, dealing with pressures at school including violence, and coping with family issues such as divorce.
Chapters include: On Love, On Family, On Friendship, On Choices, On Changes, On Overcoming Obstacles, Eclectic Wisdom, Tough Stuff, Attitude and Perspective and Achieving Dreams.
Contributors include: *NSync, Mia Hamm, Beverley Mitchell and Karl Malone.
