Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 7 Up-For this volume, readers were queried about what is important to them. Their responses are subdivided under such topics as heroes, family, self, and the world. Some selections are better written than others, but all adhere to the purpose of the book, which is to allow teens to express their values, priorities, goals, and fears. In “Locked Up,” a young man incarcerated for murder writes about turning his life around. In “Both Father and Mother,” a 17-year-old shares the joy and sadness he experiences as he raises his younger brother and sister. “Brotherly Advice” is a tribute by an adolescent girl to her brother as he leaves for college. The collection includes pieces by young people from Afghanistan and the former Czechoslovakia. Instructions on how to submit student writing or start local writing contests are included. This title is sure to be popular with fans of the series and useful for teachers looking for strong examples of student writing.Julie Webb, Shelby County High School, Shelbyville, KYCopyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Product Description
After publishing four successful books in the groundbreaking Teen Ink series, this fifth-and possibly best-installment takes a close and compelling look at what’s really important to today’s teens. Partnering with the worldwide Laws of Life Essay Contest, a program of the John Templeton Foundation, this collection offers a unique tapestry of teen expression. Many of the haunting questions of all time are tackled by voices that sing with hope and the reality of being a teenager in the 21st Century. With eloquent prose, insightful poetry, art and photography, these teens present timeless values through their own experiences and explore principles such as, “It’s better to give than to receive,” “If at first you don’t succeed . . .” and “Honesty is the best policy.” In Teen Ink: What Matters, you’ll find fresh and honest interpretations of these and other ideals that we all try to live by. In addition, teen authors and artists journey into waters filled with forgiveness, generosity, courage, love and bravery through personal expressions about tough challenges, family, friends and everyday events. Young people from as far away as China and Ukraine reveal fascinating insights in this selection from over 88,000 submissions to the Laws of Life Essay Contest. Teen Ink: What Matters is an uplifting book of hope, reflection and inspiration that will resonate with teens.
