AWESOME introduction to all things fandom. The bottom line? If you're a kid even vaguely THINKING about writing fan fic, starting a podcast, playing an RPG, or trying cosplay -- JUST DO IT. Great tips for newbies and even vocab dotting the book (with a glossary in the back) so you're familiar with the lingo.
I don't know any other resource like this for young readers. A must purchase!
