"“Someone Like You” is a story of the bond of friendship and how important that is, especially in the lives of teenage girls. There is a time in every girl’s life when she begins to pull away from her mother and turns to friends for that guidance and acceptance. Sarah Dessen really understands the pressures of being a teenager including school, jobs, peer pressure and home life. This is a story any teenage girl will be able to relate to."

"“Rich Dad Poor Dad” is a book that makes you want to get up and take charge of your life. It is not a “get rich quick” book nor does it tell you step by step how to accomplish this. There is definitely some helpful advice and ways of looking at things in a whole new light – like your house as a liability rather than an asset – but it is up to you to find the path to financial freedom. Robert Kiyosaki is there to motivate and guide you. An excellent read for anyone who has finally had enough of the “rat race”."

"Virginia Shreves just doesn’t measure up. She doesn’t fit in with the pencil thin popular girls and certainly not with her picture perfect family. Then she realizes everyone else may not be as perfect as they seem. Rather than change herself to fit the perfect mold that society has created, she discovers that she only needs to learn to accept herself. “The Earth, My Butt, & Other Big Round Things” is a realistic coming-of-age story with the humor and spunk today’s teens can relate to. "

"“Can You Keep a Secret” is another hilarious novel from the author of the Shopaholic series. Light, fun, and completely entertaining."

"This account of how quickly an average teen can be thrust into a world of drugs was a real eye opener. As a parent, it’s easy to think “not my child” and I am sure Kristina felt that way about herself before “Bree” took over. The way this book is written, in verse, creates a powerfully dramatic narrative. Although this may be a quick read, a story within a story is discovered by reading down the columns. I would recommend this book to every teen and parent."

"No book has inspired me or change my outlook on life more than "Critical Choices That Change Lives". This is a great book for teenagers, too. It helps them to realize how the choices they make affects not only their lives but so many others and why the "decision behind the decision" is the most important decision they will ever make. It also explains the three critical choices that turn ordinary people into heroes. This is a must read for anyone facing obstacles or difficult "
