I originally read this book as a college student. I think at that point I was a tad bit too old. I have a feeling this was a book I got during a window in time where I could get books cheap on eBay. I found it recently while going through some stuff. I read it again in preparation for giving it to my nephew.
For a book published in 1998 I think it has withstood time. It does not address tech or anything specific that has come and gone since then. It addressed things that effect teens in every era.

It is written in a voice that should resonate with any teen in almost any circumstance. It is not preaching but rather showing the experience of other young people.
I would recommend this book, or an updated version if there is one, to any teen in your life. It makes me want to go get one of the adult versions and makes me question why I have not already done so.… (lisätietoja)
