Editorial Review:

With incredible openness and honesty, 39 teens tell their stories, covering topics like falling into drug and alcohol abuse, getting hooked on pornography, struggling with homosexuality, participating in the occult, attempting suicide, becoming pregnant, being physically abused, living in foster homes, going to jail, getting kicked out of the house and living on the street, and other heart-wrenching experiences. The good news is that every one of these teens had a life-changing encounter with God. They experienced the grace, forgiveness, and healing that turned their sorrow into joy. Yes, some still have struggles and scars-but all are with a hope they didn't believe was possible. Suzanne Eller, a writer and youth worker, has carefully helped the teens to craft and edit their stories in a way that is candid and real, but without glamorizing or sensationalizing the hardest moments of life. The result is a book that provides teens with a unique opportunity to receive in-your-face spiritual insights-because it is coming from people their own age who have "been there." Even teens who are not in extreme situations will be inspired by these stories that reveal God's power to transform lives.

Editorial Review:

Was it a one-night stand or true love? What are the symptoms of chlamydia? How do I know if my drinking is out of control? While questions like these may be a parent's worst nightmare, they weigh heavily on the minds of today's teens and twentysomethings. Thankfully, The "Go Ask Alice" Book of Answers has come to the rescue, providing straightforward, nonjudgmental, comprehensive answers to the toughest, most embarrassing questions teens (and adults) have about their sexual, emotional, and physical health. Inspired by Columbia University's award-winning and hugely popular Q&A Web site, this essential book is packed with answers to questions initially posed online. The university's health service staff has collaborated to ensure that each topic--from how to kiss to the effects of LSD--is given candid, educated attention in an easy-to-digest Q&A format. Queries posed to "Dear Alice" are answered with humor, understanding, and a complete lack of didacticism. A thorough list of resources is included, providing telephone numbers and Internet addresses for related health organizations, as well as directions for where to look on the Go Ask Alice Web site for more information on the immense variety of subjects. With this excellent book in hand, older teens and college students will be better prepared for the journey to adulthood. And grown-ups would benefit as well from the wealth of information contained in these pages. (Ages 15 and older) --Brangien Davis

If parents play an active role in their children's lives, their children will come to know that they can depend on their parents, especially during times when difficult choices need to be made. Playing an active role involves discussing important matters, such as making choices about drugs and other important related issues that face our children today.

In the book, "Ten Talks Parents Must Have With Their Children About Drugs and Choices," parents are given many situations and examples to help initiate such important discussions with their children. Drug use, peer pressure, and other negative influences are covered, and examples from other parents are given so readers can try a variety of different methods with their own children. The book explains what drugs are, how they alter your feelings, about making choices, and more. Readers can find solutions by learning how other parents have handled similar situations.

My ParenTime recommends the book, "Ten Talks Parents Must Have With Their Children About Drugs and Choices" by Dominic Cappello and Xenia G. Becher, MSW, CSW -- it is clearly written and easy-to-understand, direct, and very helpful. Most importantly, it provides solutions on how to "teach" children how not to make negative choices.

Editorial Review:

Teens are always fascinated by the idea of running life on their own, free of parental interference. But what happens when reality sets in--when the laundry piles up, the sink overflows, you run out of money for food, and your little sister starts getting very sick? In A Door Near Here, winner of the annual Delacorte Prize for Best First Young Adult Novel, Heather Quarles shows readers that "no parents" is no fun. The mother of the four Donovan kids has taken to her bed and bottle, only stumbling out of her pigsty of a room occasionally in search of more vodka. Katharine, the eldest at 15, tries to keep her brother and sisters clean and fed and in classes, but things are slipping out of her control--especially when 8-year-old Alisa decides to run away from school in search of the kingdom of Narnia. Katharine can't turn to their cold and selfish father for help, so the four siblings cling to their secrets--terrified that an adult, seeing beneath the appearances they are desperately trying to uphold, will alert Social Services. When a kindly teacher begins to ask questions, Katharine panics and lashes out with an accusation that could well destroy this concerned man--only to be met with an act of breathtaking forgiveness. Both teens and adults will find the poignant resolution of this compelling novel utterly engrossing. (Ages 12 and older) --Patty Campbell
