Teenager's Book of Life
At last, we have a helpful survival guide for teenagers! This is the type of book you did not know you needed and might not want to read, because (let’s be honest!) teenagers and books are not always the best of friends! However, the book covers important parts of teenage life, such as dealing with friendships, family, school stress, and figuring out who you are – all the big questions that tend to appear at the worst possible moments!
With vivid illustrations from Cathy Hogan, Teenager’s Book of Life is like a life manual. The book’s strength lies in the fact that it is clear and straightforward. Short sections and real-life examples should be useful for those teenagers who do not want to read a whole book or are simply in a hurry! This means readers can dip in and out of the book, ideal for those who like to scroll. Griffin’s tone is supportive and relatable with many interesting insights – his explanation of anger as a positive emotion, for instance, is distinctive.
Griffin offers advice rather than a lecture and the overall message of the book is positive and encouraging, aiming to help teenagers build confidence, reflect on their choices, and to manage challenges better. Also included are practical tools like tips, prompts, and step-by-step suggestions that make sense in everyday situations. Short, useful, and extremely readable – even for those of a certain age who do not usually like to read!
