Campus Life Exposed: Advice from the Inside
by Harlan Cohen
In the words of Harlan Cohen himself, "This is the book I WISH someone had given to me... so I wrote it! It's the book every parent and every student going off to college should check out. There are 168 hours in the week and only about 20 are spent inside the classroom. It's the hours outside the classroom when the real lessons are learned. From roommates to relationships to sex to no sex to loneliness to depression to drinking to drugs to sobriety--it's all here and more. This is my way of helping college students know that they are NEVER alone in their individual college journey--wherever it may lead!"

Don't Think Twice
by Ruth Pennebaker
"I am an avid reader who devours on average five books a week," an Amazon.com customer writes. "That in mind, now take into consideration this was truly one of the best books I have ever read. It is entertaining, elegantly crafted, has funny, relatable characters, a sense of realism... and above all, Anne's strong voice conveys an amazing story of self-awareness and overcoming hardships." Ruth Pennebaker's Don't Think Twice is a darkly funny, hard-hitting novel set in the late 1960s in a rural Texas home for pregnant teens.

If High School Is a Game, Here's How to Break the Rules : A Cutting Edge Guide to Becoming Yourself
by Cherie Carter-Scott, Kimberly Kirberger
"One of the most difficult things about life as a teenager is how very complicated it can be. Sometimes you feel as if you can't even figure out what is wrong, let alone do anything about fixing it. What Chérie does in this book is take the whole complicated mess and simplify it, make sense out of it." So writes Kimberly Kirberger in her introduction to Chérie Carter-Scott's collection of 10 "truths," from "Your body will change" to "Your inner world is your safety zone." Accessible and empowering, this small book for high schoolers offers sound, non preachy advice to help your teenager become the person he or she wants to be.

Monster
by Walter Dean Myers, Christopher A. Myers (Illustrator)
"Monster" is what the prosecutor called 16-year-old Steve Harmon for his supposed role in the fatal shooting of a convenience-store owner. But was Steve really the lookout who gave the "all clear" to the murderer or was he just in the wrong place at the wrong time? In Walter Dean Myers's innovative novel, winner of the prestigious Michael L. Printz Award, the reader becomes both juror and witness during the trial of Steve's life.

Stay Strong : Simple Life Lessons for Teens
by Terrie Williams
In this sassy, street-smart addition to the growing body of self-help literature for adolescents, public relations guru Terrie Williams turns her attention to teens. Stay Strong reads like a hip-hop version of Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul: Williams breaks down what she believes are common negative adolescent attitudes ("It's all about money," "How I talk is my business," etc.) and then challenges the reader to reassess those attitudes and turn them around. Original rap lyrics that illustrate the theme of each chapter and a down-to-earth introduction by Queen Latifah will make this work especially appealing to urban teens.
