The Book of Lists for Teens [Audiobook] [Paperback]

Sandra Choron (Author), Harry Choron (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 24, 2002

Face it: no self-respecting young adult likes to be caught out of the know. But few teenagers have the time or inclination to plow through Web sites, almanacs, and weighty reference books to find the answers to all their questions. The Book of Lists for Teens is an informative, lively, and engaging source of information about all kinds of things, and it’s fun.
It’s all here: everything that matters most to people aged twelve to sixteen, from lists on cyberfun, music, and movies to advice about social pressures, family matters, and planning for the future. Packed with Internet addresses, recommended reading, and project ideas, The Book of Lists for Teens provides a resource that goes far beyond its pages.

Featuring: • Tips for raising well-adjusted parents • Consumer scams especially aimed at teens • Foods to eat before taking a test • Tips for buying a stereo • How to stay safe at concerts • Reasons to keep a private journal (and ways to make sure it stays that way—private!) And much, much more . . .

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

From Sandra and Harry Choron, the authors of The All-New Book of Lists for Kids, comes The Book of Lists for Teens. Organized in six sections (including "Relationships," "School" and "That's Entertainment"), the information-packed volume covers a range of moods and topics, from the funny ("6 Reasons That Your Etch-a-Sketch Is More Efficient Than Your Computer") to the serious ("The Bill of Rights for Gay Students") to the totally trivial ("42 Absolutely Useless Facts"). Back matter contains a bibliography and a list of useful Web sites. Ages 12-16.

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up-The Chorons have created another interesting collection of lists divided into six sections, from "Me, Myself, and I" and "The World Out There" to "Relationships" and "Schools" to "That's Entertainment" and "Facts on File." Packed with wit and wisdom, these lists also contain links to other resources for gathering further information on topics such as eating disorders, substance abuse, and the like. Teens will love picking up the book and reading about "20 of the Best Party Dance Songs of the 1990s," and be informed by the "29 National Organizations That Address the Problems of Youth" and "9 Things You Can Do About Bullies." Filled with trivia, facts, and fun, this book inspires, informs, and entertains. Parents will also enjoy it as a way to keep current on teen trends and issues.

This review is from: The Book of Lists for Teens (Paperback)

The Book of Lists for Teens is a book full of over 250 lists on everything from "The 11 Best TV Moms" to "Things you didn't know about AIDS that you should." They are catorigized into 6 chapters, and some are hilarious "10 Tips for raising Good, Well-Adjusted Parents" while some are more serious. Best, though, are the lists of Cds, Books, and Movies. These lists include things like "5 Greatest books about baseball" or "Adult Books That Many Teens Enjoy." For movies my favorite was "10 Great Coming-of Age Films."
I would reccomend this book for Girls AND Guys 13 and up, because some of the material isn't good for people under that age. Enjoy your Lists!

This review is from: The Book of Lists for Teens (Paperback)

The Book of Lists for Teens is an entertaining read for teens of all ages. The book address issues from dating to dealing with racism. Sometimes the advice is serious; others are just plain silly. I like the variety in this book although some lists are more interesting and useful than others. This book gives the readers a lot of miscellaneous facts - perfect for those who love trivia! If the reader is reading this for the first time, my suggestion is to skip around - reading it back to front is dull, and some subjects simply may not interest the reader. All in all, a book worth checking out!

Add this book to your summer reading list. This witty, wry and insightful page-turner is for teens and all those in-between. Breaking from conventional list books, this paperback provides useful information -- originally, whimsically and helpfully.
