    <![CDATA[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.  <p>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 &quot;kid&quot; stage, yet are uncertain about what  adolescence will bring; they'd rather listen to peers over parents,  and hear all too often to &quot;wait until you're older.&quot; Chicken Soup for  the Preteen Soul will guide kids through this transition.  <p>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.  <p>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.  <p>Whether first-time Chicken Soup readers or &quot;graduates&quot; of the  bestselling Kid's Soul book, preteens are sure to include this in  their backpacks and book bags.</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[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.  <p>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 &quot;kid&quot; stage, yet are uncertain about what  adolescence will bring; they'd rather listen to peers over parents,  and hear all too often to &quot;wait until you're older.&quot; Chicken Soup for  the Preteen Soul will guide kids through this transition.  <p>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.  <p>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.  <p>Whether first-time Chicken Soup readers or &quot;graduates&quot; of the  bestselling Kid's Soul book, preteens are sure to include this in  their backpacks and book bags.</p></p></p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[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.  <p>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 &quot;kid&quot; stage, yet are uncertain about what  adolescence will bring; they'd rather listen to peers over parents,  and hear all too often to &quot;wait until you're older.&quot; Chicken Soup for  the Preteen Soul will guide kids through this transition.  <p>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.  <p>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.  <p>Whether first-time Chicken Soup readers or &quot;graduates&quot; of the  bestselling Kid's Soul book, preteens are sure to include this in  their backpacks and book bags.</p></p></p></p>]]>
