Summary: chicken soup for the teenage soul
Review: Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 4 is a very inspiring book for teenagers living in our crazy everyday world just like you and me. From rough times with friends, to dealing with the death of a loved one, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul 4 shows the true meaning of what it's like to be a teenager. It is written from the hands of ordinary teenagers who face the victories and hard times that we all have had our fair share of. If not, we are sure to face these challenges in the future. This book is filled with stories of life, love, and learning that sometimes we all need to hear to know that we are not alone.

One of my favorite stories in this book is from the section of Overcoming Obstacles. The story is titled Tear-Stained Eyes. It starts off when a girl took her boyfriend to the airport because he was leaving for college. She was so heart-broken because she had to see him leave, and wondered if he loved her as much as she loved him still. Before he left, they promised each other that they would always love each other, but wouldn't keep in contact. A month goes by and she still has the same feelings for her long lost boyfriend, but later that night, you wouldn't imagine what showed up on the front porch.

Of course you would have to read the book to know the ending. I wouldn't want to ruin it for you right? I would definitely recommend this book to teenagers of any sort. The stories you read could change the way you view other teenagers, as it did to me.

Summary: Great writing / Great stories about Dating
Review: The story that moved me the most is the story about the young man who was afraid to tell his father about dating - titled "When the World Stopped Turning." The story was written by Michael Punsalan and is quite entertaining. I felt the same way about dating when I was a teenager living with my parents. Another moving one was "When Daddy Died." THe Chicken Soup books continue to write stories that all of us feel we can relate to! Keep up the good work!!!
