What Readers Are Saying
An inspirational book filled with great advice for teens!
An inspirational book for teens written by an inspirational teen! This book is invaluable for teenagers navigating the difficult and uncertain years as they emerge from childhood and adolescence.
The author guides other teens through school challenges, personal relationships, and self care, all through the lens of a peer, providing strategies and advice sure to help them succeed. Not only has this book helped my teens navigate this time in their lives, it was also very insightful for me as a parent as well. I highly recommend this book for teens but also parents of teens!

Exactly what my 12-year-old needed
This book is such a gem. My 12-year-old loved it and actually wanted to keep reading—which says a lot. It talks about mental health in a way that’s real and easy to understand, without feeling heavy or preachy.
It gave my child words for things they’ve been feeling and helped open up some really good conversations between us. You can tell it was written with care and a genuine understanding of what kids go through. I honestly wish something like this had existed when I was young.
I can’t believe it was written by a 14-year-old—so impressive and inspiring! Highly recommend for any parent or teen—it’s comforting, relatable, and full of hope.

Achieving goals in the lives of the youth
Chapters are setup as keys to achieving goals in the lives of the youth. This is a book I would recommend for any young man who is looking for guidance. A book that any parent can gift that coming of age adolescent in your inner circle of family.
