Chicken Soup for the Teen Soul: Real-Life Stories by Real Teens
How to Figure Out the Drama–Teen to Teen
Every day you are faced with choices about friends, school, work, family obligations, and the future. It isn’t always easy to know which direction to take, and if you do make a mistake, then what? To help you out, Chicken Soup for the Soul got together with Teen Ink magazine to bring you compelling, real-life stories from teenagers going through many of these issues. Teen Ink magazine is written by and for teenagers about everything from getting ready for the prom to losing someone you love.
In Chicken Soup for the Teen Soul: Real Stories by Real Teens, you will find honesty and insight about the everyday situations you face and see how other teens tackled them. Challenges, loss, constant change–how are you expected to handle it all? Like you, the teens in these stories often laugh, sometimes cry, and at times make mistakes. So share with them their innermost fears and thoughts as they cope with loss, watch their parents go through divorce, fall in love, and conquer their fears.

5 Stars Earnest, honest, real
I haven’t read much of Chicken Soup before — it never seemed like my kind of thing, I guess. But I’ve liked and been reading the Teen Ink magazine since the beginning of this year, and when this book came out I thought I’d give it a try.
First off, don’t judge it for its looks or its title. No, seriously. The writing in here isn’t “soupy” or sugar-coated, no matter how smiley the six teens on the cover look. Some of it gets pretty visceral; it’s a book by teens with their experiences right now, not just people who WERE teens once upon a time. And it’s not half-hearted in describing anything.
The writing isn’t the same as writing by adults; it’s got a fairly different quality about it, not better or worse, just different. It’s not pretentious or “trying too hard.” I liked that.
On flipping through the book, looking at the cover and the little cartoons inside (what’s up with those little cartoons?), I have to say I got a little leery. But when I sat down and read the whole thing, I found it as good as Teen Ink magazine itself, and for the same reasons: it’s earnest. It’s honest. And, as a teen myself, it did feel real.

5 Stars Charming coffee table book, perfect for holiday present
This book is the perfect present for the holiday season (or any other special occasion). For those not knowing what to give as a gift, this little tome will definitely please male and female friends and relatives with its inspirational true stories of the tea drinking experience and how tea has brought people together in fellowship and family. First off, this book looks a bit different from the usual Chicken Soup tome - the cover is about an inch smaller in size and the inside pages are printed on a soft white paper (instead of the usual bright white) which makes reading easy on the eyes. The cover is shaded with a color reminiscent of brewed tea. It’s a pleasure to hold this book in my hands. And it’s an even greater pleasure to relax with this book for an uplifting spell of reading enjoyment. I always feel better after leafing through a Chicken Soup book, and this one in particular. I thrive on “feel good” stories. I appreciate the life lessons that the authors provide, and I get a kick out of seeing how they incorporate those lessons with the joy of tea drinking. Pass the cheese tray, friends, and relax with a cuppa - and this book.
5 Stars Inspirational
I purchased this book along with “365 Things Every Tea Lover Should Know.” Not only did I purchase the items for myself, I also ordered a copy for my new tea drinking buddy. She was in complete shock when she received the items. I’m happy to know she loves this book as much as I do. The stories are very heart-warming, funny, inspirational and sad.
I highly recommend this book either for yourself or for someone who loves tea. You will not be disappointed.
4 Stars Perfect to pair with tea for present.
I love the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” books. I bought this one as a present to go along with a selection of teas. The present couldn’t have been more of a hit with a bonifide tea drinker.
