1.Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: 101 Stories of Life, Love and Learning (Chicken Soup) from: Health Communications 1997-06
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
I was introduced to this book when I worked on a kid's camp in America for underprivileged children. This was one of the 'night time sories' that were read to the older kids and teens. This book is aimed at some of the problems and situations faced by teenagers, but I am 22 years old and can still relate to so much of this. I am truly amazed by how I can re-read pages of this book and still cry at the stories, (happy tears), even though I know the ending. Whenever I need a pick-me-up, corny as it sounds, this is the book I turn to as it really does "restore your faith in human nature". This has now become a book that my whole family enjoy reading and discussing as well as the friends I have introduced this to.

2.How Are Babies Made? (Usborne Flip Flaps) by: Alistair Smith March 01, 2000

Disappointing. My daughter loves her Flip Flap Body Book, and I hoped this would cover more ground. It is far better to get the flip flap body book, as this is just a sub-section of that book (exactly the same pages).

3.The "What's Happening to My Body?" Book for Boys: A Growing Up Guide for Parents and Sons by: Lynda Madaras, Dane Saavedra December 31, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.91
This book has everything a boy needs to know about the changes in his body. It even has diagrams that are clearly labeled and leave you in no doubt as to what to expect. I particularly liked the chapter on growing up for girls. So often this side is neglected for the oposite sex and it removes the mysteries and taboos about women that young men often need to know. My only worry would be that I may have to wait until my son is at least 12 before given him the book. It is advertised as being suitable from 10 years upwards however I feel the content is a bit to graphic and detailed for the younger boy. I will certainly be supplying my son with this book when he is a little older as it is the type of book he can look at whenever he has ... Read More:

4.J.D.Salinger's "Catcher in the Rye" (Bloom's Notes) from: Chelsea House Publishers,U.S. 1996-03
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.01
The catcher in the rye is by far, the best novel I've read lately. Not only does it show in a magnific way how tough and funny (in its own way) relationships between teenagers are, but also it desribes every situation as if you were there. It's just amazing and everyone should read it, mostly if you wanna know how a person feels when he's 16. Besides, it's exactly the way I would have written a novel.

5.Dear Diary, I'm Pregnant: Teenagers Talk About Their Pregnancy by: Annrenee Englander 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.23 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.18 You Save: £0.05 ( 1%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £6.22
A year ago, I found out I was pregnant. I was scared stiff. I was only 15 and I didn't have any time or patience to be a mother. I didn't believe in abortion, my parents didn't want me to give it up, and I didn't want to keep it. I was very confused and I felt like I was alone. Then I read this book. It really made a difference in my life! I read what other girls did about their pregnancies and how they felt about their choices. Thanks to this amazing book, I decided to give birth to a beautiful baby girl, and now I know that my daughter Carisse is living with a very nice couple. She's the baby they always wanted, and none of this would've happened if I had never read "Dear Diary, I'm Pregnant-Teenagers Talk About Their ... Read More:

7.Life Happens: A Teenager's Guide to Friends, Failure, Sexuality, Love, Rejection, Addiction, Peer Pressure, Families, Loss, Depressi by: Kathy McCoy, Charles Wibbelsman 1996-03
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £5.71
I bought this for my 13 year old daughter as I thought it might help her with a few problems she has been having. Being able to buy it from the amazon.co.uk site and also (I thought)from the title, I assumed that it would be relevant to us. It is totallly geared to a US audience (with such things as the language difference - mom, graduation, apartment, 'parking' etc; the way of life used in the 'real-life' letters/scenarios are incredibly different to that experienced in the UK) and the book I felt was also aimed at an older teenager rather than the younger. I did not buy this book for the depression angle - the 11th point on the book's cover of the subjects included in the book - so was absolutely horrified that the first few chapters ... Read More:
