Reviews
It's a motivational, feel-good read that targets teens but also has some nuggets of wisdom for nosy parents who may be sneaking a peek when the kids are in bed. (Madhouse Family Reviews!, November 2014) This book is clever, funny, interesting and insightful. If you are the parent of a teen, not only should you buy it for them, you should also read it yourself (Stressy Mummy, December 2014)
