Katherine — "I bought this book as a gift for my newly turned 14 year-old niece. I am thrilled! The book provides a wonderful, interactive way for her reflect on her own thinking - who she is, who she wants to be, and what she is planning for her future. I am particularly happy with the section on Creative Writing that allows a young person to explore their own thinking about a series of different topics/questions through writing short stories. While I am a very analytical person who would approach the goals and calendar with eagerness, the creative writing section would allow me to slow down and truly think. As a former middle and high school teacher, I believe this book is a great way to provide the guidance and support a young person needs through exploration and self-discovery. Thank you for a great book!"

Daniel — "My daughter is one of these 13 year olds going on 18. She's a straight A student, self driven, and mature beyond her years. Like most kids, she's beginning to see the larger world around her and she is still finding out her place in it. There are so many practical and useful things in this book that even myself and her mother find it very helpful. I think she is really understanding the content because we engage her and give her real life examples of when and how it is useful. It is also great because it is about self discovery, emotional intelligence, and how to solve problems and deal with people. All very important stuff I wish I knew when I was much much younger. If she can master these skills early, she will have a huge advantage as an adult and that can only help her continue on her road to success."

Shelley — "Loved this interactive book, made time to sit down with my 16 year old daughter and actually talk about real life issues!!

Another highlight of the guidebook is its emphasis on communication and collaboration between teens and parents. The author stress the importance of building strong relationships based on trust, respect, and mutual understanding. She provides concrete strategies for improving communication, resolving conflicts, and setting boundaries. I loved the healthy eating goals and the monthly calendar at end of book. Highly recommended."

Preston — "Janet's information tells us that she works as a graphic designer. Well I'm here to tell you she's all that and more. The design work performed on this self-help book is masterful and professional to the extreme. The subject matter is both insightful and illuminating. Janet reaches for the young and inexperienced High school teen and provides tips and instructions for navigating life after graduation. Speaking from my own experience, it took me years to learn all the things Janet covers in this book. Well worth the price and would make a great gift for your children, or (in my case) grandchildren about to step into adulthood. Wonderful book."

Brother — "Gifted this to my sister. Has been a great help with her development into early adulthood. Highly recommend for 14-18 year olds."
