Review # 1 was written on 2012-11-28 00:00:00 James Stewart Taste Berries for Teens is one of the most realistic and down to earth book I've ever read. It's one of those books where you read it and you feel as if you're watching a pull-on-your-heart-strings type of movie. It's made up of tons of short stories about things that people go through. It's great for when you're having a bumpy road and you read about things and know that you're not alone. It teaches you that there are happy endings and things really do get better in the long run. It's almost like a sense of security for people, knowing that there's others going through the same situations and there's help out there and people to talk to and that's an amazing thing to get from just reading about people's life. I really love the message that the book gives to the reader. It's real people and real life stories and it just makes you want to reach out and help others. There's really not a lot of books out there that teach us these things and a lot less that reach a younger audience like this. I love that it's put together by experts on teens and that it's a mother- daughter pair. It makes the book have and even stronger family-feel and a "lets do something about it" attitude. I REALLY recommend reading this book. It's an easy to read, meaningful book overall. It's really more of a girly read to me but, there are really many, many stories that anyone can relate to. I'll definitely give this book to my sister when she's a little older and she can understand what's going on. All the stories have their own separate message that their own authors are putting out there. It's much more catching when the story is real and it is coming from people who went through these things, not some actors pretending they did. It could be just me, but I really love these types of books.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-04-28 00:00:00 Deborah Hanson If you read the "Chicken soup for the Teenage Soul" books, you will definitely enjoy this book filled with short stories as well. With more short stories about the little bumps on the road of life, it shows us to be loyal to ourselves and our intuition. This book gave me self explanatory lessons for the future of who we want to become. When I reached the middle of this book, I realized how much I had already learned from other people who were once teenagers as well. To be honest, it is easier to hear lessons about life and how to react to situations when other teenagers explain it to you because they feel the same way I do. They know exactly how to translate what we need to understand in the right way. Their words of wisdom let all of us know that it is difficult to grow up altogether when you are a teenager because you have to behave a certain way and have to be treated in another way. When you read this book, there is no way you can feel left out with all the situations we go through while being an adolescent.
