This is another book that I know my students will love. It's another one that will have to be place on my "special" shelf to insure that no one steals it. I expect it to soon show evidence of much love as have my other National Geographic titles. With interesting pictures and a magazine-like layout that draws the eye, it is a great book for students to grab and instantly become engaged in after finishing work or just for fun on their own.

This book is hilarious, yet filled with TONS of helpful information! I've watched enough "I Shouldn't Be Alive" to know what NOT to do in certain situations, but this book takes it to the next level and even discusses what to do to survive an embarrassing moment, a breakup, being the new kid, and other normal everyday stuff that kids deal with.
A great nonfiction title that is super easy to booktalk (for TONS of ages) because it's one of those books where you don't need to read it cover to cover...more

I really enjoyed this book. Loved the chapters on "how to survive embarrassing parents"(my dad totally used to sing in the elevator and belch in the parking lot) and "how to survive popularity contest". ahh those were the days. The book was colorful with fun tips and trivia.
Funny and easy to breeze through. Probably best for younger teens, I think the cheesy jokes might be a turn-off for older YA readers. Several copy editing errors - not bad enough to obscure the meaning, but more than enough to drive me crazy!
Brilliant combo of "Coping With..." and SHARK ATTACK! Great design and illustrations, solid advice on bullying, internet safety etc. and a concept that makes this about 1000% more appealing than the typical teen safety/advice book.
How to survive embarrassing parents-my favorite chapter. I now have more ammo for my own kids who still find me astonishingly embarrassing!
So I skimmed this one too, but the facts in here are pretty helpful. It will tell you how to survive something as scary as an earthquake... or 6th grade...
How to survive embarrassing parents really struck a chord with me. I have the matching family photos to prove it
