Definitely for the tween and young teen crowd just from the ages of the kids. Some helpful tips that are good to keep in mind as my stepchildren get older. They may find this one helpful to read a few years down the road when they are sharing us, their lives, and the home with half-siblings. The book seems a bit dated though the information and how it is delivered is not.

Probably 3.5 stars. Not a very rosy view but better than nothing when looking for something to relate to and learn from others who've "been there" for kids

A longer nonfiction book for older children experiencing divorce between their parents. It's always great to have a book written by children on such a personal subject. If a child is having a hard time trusting adults, this would be a great book to turn to. Written in an interview format, kids can browse to questions that most pertain to them.
Two downfalls may be that it is visually drab (text, pictures, and graphics only in black, white, and gray) and text heavy.
