Too old to curl up on Mommy's lap, too young to hang out with his older
brother's friends. The ages from 9 to 12 are tough ones but this manual
makes it easier because it's written for and by preteens. The author has
presented workshops for boys and girls for 25 years and knows what
they want---and more importantly, what they need.
Written in a style that preteens relate to, this book is great for
solo or group work. The fill-in-the-blank format encourages dialog
and introspection.
