My second title for review and giveaway is Extraordinary Teens. Whether you have teenagers or not, these stories are very inspiring.
My favorite chapter was from Danica McKellar. For those of you around my age, she played Winnie on The Wonder Years. She actually grew up to be a published author and mathematician. She writes about finding your identity, believing in yourself and perseverance.
Here is a brief description of this book: Chicken Soup for the Soul: Extraordinary Teens (Chicken Soup for the Soul Publishing, LLC, August 2009) inspires teens with stories from the young people they admire. These extraordinary teens, mostly celebrities, share their troubles and triumphs, as well as what they do to continue to achieve. More than fifty celebrity contributors, including a special story from Sean Covey, author of Seven Habits for Highly Effective Teens.
Chicken Soup for the Soul has offered to give two of my readers a a copy of this book as a giveaway…
