My mother bought me this book back in elementary school. I took offence to this at the time, but I decided to read it today because, well, why not? Turns out, some of the stuff in here is pretty useful and techniques that I as an adult use. I recommend it.

Even if this book was written for middle-school kids, the tips are useful for adults!

Many could learn a lot by doing even just one of those tips.

Loved that, and I will absolutely give it to my daughter to read.
