As a mother of a teen and a preteen I have found King/Sollerh invaluable in helping me understand the adolescent mind and my reaction to so many of their actions and behaviors....A must read!
An amazing walk through the mind of a teenager! As someone who works with teenagers, I have found this book to be incredibly helpful towards my work with this youth group. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with teenagers!
