Chicken Soup for the Soul: Just for Preteens helps readers as they navigate those tough preteen years from ages 9 to 12 with its stories from others just like them, about the highs and lows of life as a preteen. It’s a support group they carry in their backpack!
Being a preteen is harder than it looks! School is more challenging, bodies are changing, relationships with parents are different, and new issues arise with friends. But this collection will help preteens, showing them they are not alone. Readers will be encouraged and inspired by stories from other preteens, just like them, about the problems and issues they face every day.
Great for tweens! Preteens have a hard enough time entering that stage of their life and may sometimes feel like they are alone. This Chicken Soup book is great because it is real stories from preteen years (also know as tweens!) It contains 101 stories dealing with typical preteen issues like self confidence, changing schools, first crushes, doing the right thing, finding your passion, embarrassing moments, bullies, and more. I definitely could relate to a lot of the stories from way back when I was a tween! I think it is a great book to show tweens they are not alone and sometimes worse things can happen! I laughed at the stories, felt bad, and felt proud.
Chicken Soup For The Soul: Just For Preteens Chicken Soup For The Soul: Just For Preteens offers first hand experiences and lessons learned from three generations–preteens right on up to grandparents.

Getting to know you! Called to be a preteen teacher I needed to get in touch with the issues they face today. This is a rich resource for both me and the preteens I group with. I only draw back it you have to read a lot of stories to find the one that meets your youth’s need a moment. If the back of it there was a list of what you are in need of like, “yikes I’m in middle school!” Or hope for me as I struggle with my “parents divorce”. The index would list divorce, or school troubles. If it had that type of index, every youth minister would own one.
