This book is great for two types of children: a grammar-school child that has yet to experience the peer pressure described in this book and a high-risk child that requires the positive reinforcement she/he lacks at home.

From a teen-ager's perspective, the book is boring and is filled with what my 13-year-old describes as "the same old thing." This book appeals to the misguided and naive, neither of which my child happens to be.

From a parental perspective, the book reinforces a passive approach to addressing combative people/situations with which I had much difficulty advocating. On a personal level, the author believes her life experiences qualifies her to write an advice book of this nature and I applaud her efforts; however, she will probably feel differently about 50% of the advice she has given AFTER she has raised her own children.

Brought this book for my 15 year old who read it in no time which is a welcomed change for her
