So You Want to Be a Teenager?


Title: So You Want to Be a Teenager?
Author: Dennis and Barbara Rainey
ISBN: 0-7852-6615-1
Format: Chapter Book- NonFiction
Pages: 158 Pgs.

Summary: This is a chapter book for pre-teens about topics they are beginning to explore such as friends, love, sex, dating, and other issues that come up as they learn about the world around them. It was written by two adults and their two children to give a good well rounded view on these topics. This book does have a very Christian agenda and they push for abstinence and purity until one has decided to get married. So in that aspect, it can be a little unrealistic for a general audience, especially since our tweens today have exposure to so many issues. This is a great book though for tweens who come from backgrounds with strong Christian values, as it helps provide methods for dealing with temptation and peer pressure. I would not recommend this for all tweens but it can provide some guidance to those who may be having a difficult time or feel extremely lost in the world.
