Slam: A New Way to Tell the Truth [Paperback]

Claire E. Morris (Author), Claire Dobie-Morris (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1999

A creativity starter kit for teens (and adults with a sense of humor), Slam has been described by print and TV media as "part year book, doodle sheet, autograph book, and diary" and "a kinder, gentler reinvention" of the Slam books of decades past. Slam offers 55 questions for teens to answer anonymously and creatively, then circulate to friends for their opinions and observations. Author, Morris-Dobie dubs it "an interactive commentary and confessional with no guilt or fear." Slam comes shrink wrapped with a humorous warning label sticker, extra stickers and a Slam tip sheet.
