Summary: NO OTHER BOOK LIKE THIS
Review: THIS BOOK IS GREAT. I'M A PRE-TEEN AND IT TAUGHT ME THAT OTHER KIDS ARE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THINGS I AM AND THEY KNOW HOW I FEEL. I RECENTLY LOST SOMEONE SPECIAL TO ME AND THOUGHT NONE COULD UNDERSTAND BUT THEY DO. IT ALSO TALKS ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULD START TO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE. IT TALKS ABOUT FRIENDS, TOUGH STUFF, FAMILY, AND CRUSHES. I KNOW THAT EVERY PRE-TEEN RELATES TO AT LEAST ONE STORY IN EACH OF THESE CATAGORIES.

Summary: Every Preteen Needs This Book!!
Review: This book is probably one of the greatest books I have ever read. Before I got it, I thought I was going through stuff that no one could relate to. After reading it for just a little while, I realized I wasn't alone.
The sections in this book are Achieving Dreams, On Friendship, On Family, On Love, On Death and Dying, On Attitude and Perspective, Overcoming Obstacles, On Choices, On Tough Stuff, On Changes, and Eclectic Wisdom. You will laugh, cry, feel thankful, feel bad, and you can relate to some of the stories. Celebrities Mia Hamm, Karl Malone, Beverly Mitchell, and the members of *NSYNC add their feelings and stories to the books.
I don't think you can be too young or too old to read this book. I have read parts to my parents, and they felt exactly the same way I did. My younger brother also enjoyed it. The book is narated with cartoons like the Family Circus, Calvin and Hobbes, and Dennis the Menace.
After reading this book, I felt better about making new friends, my life, and the tragadies and unexpected things about being a preteen. I hope you do to.

Summary: Wonderful!
Review: This book was wonderdul! Finally they've made a book that I can really understand. This book really teaches you all of lifes wonders. I recomend this book to all pre-teens. It helps you get through teen life. Some of the stories in the book made me cry and some I knew I've been in that postion before, and it sucks! Maybe you could call it "Shared experiences" as others say. Once I was camping with a friend and I brought the Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 2 book along with me. We read it in the car and cryed most of the time. It teaches you what lifes really about. It tells you your not the only one out ther having all these meesed up problems! This book taught me there are more important things in life than looks or clothes, I really benifited from this book. I highly recomend it!

Summary: Never Say Its Too Late
Review: This was a book that whenever you picked it up it touched your heart. It is hard to think that some preteens have to go through what they did. Laugh, cry, get mad, you will eventually do all of this when you pick up this book. I recomend this book to everyone that is having a hard time in their preteen days.
