What do you like most about being a teenager? What do you like least? What would you like to change? What are you afraid of? Why do you think adults are so lame? Lynn Skober asked real teenagers these questions, received their answers, and turned them into first-person stories about this wonderful yet challenging period of life. Skober writes about everything that occupies a young mind, from pimples to death. She succeeds in truthfully portraying how a teenager views the world—no longer a child, but not yet an adult. In the monologue stories of this book, every reader, whether a teenager currently experiencing the joys and sorrows of youth or an adult reminiscing about their own, will recognize themselves. The lightness and humor with which these stories are written do not diminish their sincerity in the slightest. The text is complemented by Lisa Aisato's stunning illustrations.
