Gr 7-12-Never has so much clear and readable advice been packed into a self-help book for YAs. Readers will find in its pages wise, common sense strategies for living through the ``10,000 hours'' of high school with a minimum of boredom and a maximum of personal and academic success. They can glean advice on getting adequate sleep and nutrition, handling stress and rejection, setting goals, and dealing with educational labels and vocational school recruiters. Throughout this dose of straight talk, the tone conveys respect for teens. The prose flows and the black-and-white cartoon illustrations sparkle. All libraries serving adolescents should have at least one copy of this refreshing title.-Doris A. Fong, Benson Polytechnic High School, Portland, ORBook Details
