IF... Questions for Teens [Hardcover]

Evelyn McFarlane (Author), James Saywell (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2001

Adolescence is one of the most challenging times of our lives — and, of course, the most fun. What do teens want to know about and ask about? It may be friends, TV, school, romance, music, peer pressure, cliques, proms, parties, gossip, parents, food, hair, videos, shopping, sports, card, the future — just to name a few. And there is nothing more fun for teens than asking friends and schoolmate questions about all these things.

With the same imaginative zeal that has made the If series so wildly popular, Evelyn MacFarlane and James Saywell engage teems with question such as:

If you could pick any three friends to go to college with, whom would you take?

If you could start a new fashion trend a school, what style would you propose?

If you could have any one super power, what would you choose?

If you were stranded on an island and could have one CD, movie, and book — what would they be?

If you could have starred in any music video in history, which would you pick?

Me and my friends love this book. I knew about the other if books already, but finally they wrote one for kids my age. The questions really get you thinking, and lead to other questions and fun conversations. I took this to school, and everybody was checking it out, even the teacher! I definitely think this is worth buying, even if you want to read it alone.

This review is from: IF... Questions for Teens (Hardcover)

This book helps teens express their feelings about stuff they don't even think about. But some questions in this book most teens think are lame. This book should have been more researched on what teens are interested in today. Good book but should be more up to date.

I bought this book to have questions for my 14-15 year old campers. Over half the questions were really superficial. I was hoping for deeper questions. I could see this book being really fun for middle school girls. I would have liked this book in 6th or 7th grade. Though a few things are dated.
