5.0 out of 5 stars Parents-Get inside your High Schooler's Head!, May 24, 2005

By	James M. Long "Cool Dad" (Kennesaw, GA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has the novelty of being written by High School Sophmores,( I believe Dawn Burnette was their teacher), the information will help us as parents understand what kind of issues are relevant today. There is a great balance of humor, but serious issues lke peer pressure, depression, are handled the way I want my children to handle them. I can't recommend this book highly enough. Besides, how many books have you read that have 60 10th grade authors?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great advice from sophomores to freshmen!!!, July 9, 2005

By	J. Lovett (Georgia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What a great idea--- students advising students on the freshman year in high school. This book is full of wonderful advice; the students have really researched their topics, and they know what they are writing about. Every high school, middle school, and public library should have copies of this invaluable book! How lucky these students are to have a teacher like Dawn Burnette. Keep up the great work!
