Book Details
This book is an ultimate survival books for bullies, backstabbing, and drama. Dr. Karres is a well known girl guru who has helped hundreds with tween and teen issues. In this book, Dr. Karres has interviewed over 1,000 tweens and teens and talked with them about topics such as bullying, mean chicks, cliques, and how this affects their life, education, and future. Included are first hand accounts, quotations, quizzes, fill in the blank questions, and quick fixes to every day problems that tweens face.
Review
Again, I wish this book was also written for boys because it is fantastic. Readers will be drawn to the first hand accounts, quirky language and straight to the point answers. Dr. Karres brings the seriousness of this hard subject down the the level of understandability to tweens and teens. Cyberbullying is also touched upon and both Facebook.com and Myspace.com are shown as drama makers if used inappropriately. Readers will not be subjected to sugarcoated faux made for television stories, but will be able to relate to real life accounts of kids just like them who are going through similar things.
