5.0 out of 5 stars Great for tweens! September 5, 2011

By Cherise Kachelmuss TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

Preteens have a hard enough time entering that stage of their life and may sometimes feel like they are alone. This Chicken Soup book is great because it is real stories from preteen years (also know as tweens!) It contains 101 stories dealing with typical preteen issues like self confidence, changing schools, first crushes, doing the right thing, finding your passion, embarrassing moments, bullies, and more. I definitely could relate to a lot of the stories from way back when I was a tween! I think it is a great book to show tweens they are not alone and sometimes worse things can happen! I laughed at the stories, felt bad, and felt proud.

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting to know you! August 30, 2011

By Linda Coltrin

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

Called to be a preteen teacher I needed to get in touch with the issues they face today. This is a rich resource for both me and the preteens I group with. I only draw back it you have to read a lot of stories to find the one that meets your youth's need a moment. If the back of it there was a list of what you are in need of like, "yikes I'm in middle school!" Or hope for me as I struggle with my "parents divorce". The index would list divorce, or school troubles. If it had that type of index, every youth minister would own one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wisdom and Support for a Turbulent Age August 11, 2011

By facepalm111

Format:Paperback

If teen years are a rough road, then preteen years are a rocky, confusing road. CSS Just for Preteens provides wisdom and comfort for dealing with family and friends, school and home, and bullying and friendship during one of the most tumultuous times of youth. My own contribution, "Staying By His Side," recounts a fun day with my Grandpa at Busch Gardens and how the fun was interrupted with my Grandpa going to the First Aid building. CSS Just for Preteens reminds kids "it gets better" from a first-hand point of view. Enjoy!
