Bill Zimmerman, the author, was twice nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for his writings for young people about current events and issues they face. He is former editor of Newsday, the nation's largest newspaper, and author of over a dozen books. 100 Things Guys Need To Know is an EXCELLENT cartoon styled book for pre-adolescent and adolescent boys to help them cope with the changes in their bodies, emotions, and relationships in a positive way. Nothing is more important than helping a youth know that making wise choices amidst peer pressure and internal quandaries is a good thing. This book is the perfect tool to help any boy (ages 9 - 13) thrive in his teen years and understand what is happening to himself internally and physically as well as socially. The book teaches good skills and positive choices and healthy habits in six categories: Self, Body and Mind, Family, School, Relationships, Future. I cannot recommend this book highly enough! It is written to the youngster himself and is easy enough to understand, and the cartoons help the boy identify with situations common to every teen. The book is also an excellent one to read with your children to open conversation about issues you may not know he is dealing with at school or other areas of his life. A WONDERFUL book to give any boy you know, love, and want to make wise choices in order to navigate the turbulent teen years successfully and create a happy, future for himself.

It can be tough being a guy--but this book will definitely help. It's fun and easy to read, and has lots of great tips and resources for guys. If every guy read this book, the world would be a better place, no question!

Good book for early teen years, perhaps 11-12. My teens scoffed at the book when I got it for them, but over the next year or so I noticed that they were reading it from time to time. It's a good book, some obvious things, but having them written down and not coming from Dad makes it so much more valid.

It is a great book for teenagers (high functioning/Aspergers) within the autism spectrum who are struggling with social interaction with peers!!

I purchased this book for my 13 year old son. He breezed through it and said he was too old for the information. He thought it might be a good book for a 10 or 11 year old boy.
