More than just teaching lessons of survival and success, Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul II offers guidance, support, encouragement, and, most of all, love, through 101 stories that show the importance of family, self-respect, dreams, and life.
Co-author Kimberly Kirberger says, After enjoying the success of the first Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul book we knew it would be a huge challange to make the second one as good. Because of our strong desire to please and thank our devoted teenage audience we worked twice as hard on this edition. We were really excited to be able to include many more stories written by teenagers in this one and also to be able to have more stories in the categories they said were their favorites. We are extremely grateful that this book is being received with the same enthusiasm as the first.

This survival guide to the preteen years is packed with stories by and about readers ages nine to thirteen, including celebrity pieces by *NSYNC, Mia Hamm and more.
From remembering their own life experience or to watching their own children grow, most people recognize that the preteen years, ages nine to thirteen, can be one of the most awkward times in life-a period of tremendous physical and emotional change. At this age, youngsters are eager to leave the "kid" stage, yet are uncertain about what adolescence will bring; they'd rather listen to peers over parents, and hear all too often to "wait until you're older." Chicken Soup for the Preteen Soul will guide kids through this transition.
Written by and for preteens, this uplifting collection of stories touches on the emotions and situations they experience every day: making and losing friends, fitting in while keeping their personal identity, discovering the opposite sex, dealing with pressures at school including violence, and coping with family issues such as divorce.
Chapters include: On Love, On Family, On Friendship, On Choices, On Changes, On Overcoming Obstacles, Eclectic Wisdom, Tough Stuff, Attitude and Perspective and Achieving Dreams. Contributors include: *NSYNC, Mia Hamm, Beverley Mitchell and Karl Malone. Whether first-time Chicken Soup readers or "graduates" of the bestselling Kid's Soul book, preteens are sure to include this in their backpacks and book bags.
