From the Back Cover

Did you know that . . . - it's possible to stop a hockey puck by catching it in your mouth? - if you fall while waterskiing and forget to release the rope, you'll lose your swimsuit? - you can practice your moves for your first date by kissing a mirror? - regardless of what your father tells you, a skunk can spray you if you pick it up by the tail? These are just a few of the misadventures Ken Davis survived on his way through his teenage years. But at least he made it -- and that qualifies him to write I Don't Remember Dropping the Skunk, But I Do Remember Trying to Breathe. This isn't your typical teenage survival manual.

Preparing for the Future . . . Handling Peer Pressure . . . and many other survival techniques. Why do you need this book? Because it isn't easy being a teenager. And Ken Davis doesn't just want you to survive. He wants you to ace this thing -- and have fun doing it. This book is a giant step in that direction.

I have not read this. A friend recommended it for our children when they were confirmed. Our neice is getting confirmed this year and both of our children suggested that we get it for her. (...and I thought that they didn't read it...) They both said that it was relevant.
