Summary: Teen Ink: Our Voices, Our Visions
Review: This book has some amazing and inspiring stories, all written by teenagers. There are some moments to which everybody can relate, like a first crush or the death of a family member; Other stories are unique and exciting (one teen writes about being held captive at gunpoint in his family home). The book is easy to read, written by a variety of teens in their natural voices. I think it is wonderful that teenagers have this opportunity to express themselves through writing and artwork. This is a must read for every adolescent, or anybody who needs to be reminded what their teenage years were like.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book was very inspirational and creative~ It's a book for teenagers written by teenagers~ I'm a big fan of books like this one and I finished it in less than 2 days. It's a must read if you like Chicken Soup or Teen Love. The stories were honest, truthful, and eye opening. Teenagers writing true stories about experiences they've been through. There's also great works of fiction in this book as well. This is the first in a series of four Teen Ink Books (with more to come in the future.) Teenagers will love this book, taking advice and stories to heart. Parents will love this book to get a deeper look at real teenagers and maybe better understand just what all we teenagers do go through~ You can't loose with this book! Even if you only read a few of the short stories, they'll stick with you~ Even if you're not an avid reader, take a chance on reading this book! I'm sure you'll understand and enjoy it!

Summary: An impressive collection of teen writing
Review: When I finally got my copy of TeenInk: our voices, our visions I sat down on the couch and dove in to this compilation of nonfiction, poetry and fiction. I didn't get up again until I read the last page. Wow! Every story rang true; this is an unprecedented collection of teen voices. With chapters on friends, fitting in, love, challenges, family, heroes, loss and memories, the book touches every aspect of teen life. IT'S NOT GOOPY! Some stories are very touching, even emotional, but nothing is sugar-coated. This is mature, intelligent writing from young people who have both a firm grasp on life and are, sometimes, just hanging on. Buy it, read it, read it again... My Christmas shopping will be easy this year.
