"Alright, this book has a lot of high and low points but I'm going to tell you now: This book is MEANT to make fun of those "inspirational quotes", not to actually BE them. And to parents that want to get this book for your kid, ask yourself this: Are they in High School? I've been suffering with depression for a long time, and I've read this book during my low points to pick me back up (if you can believe that, then keep reading)."
"The book has a few sacrilegious things(a quote and in PewDiePie's biography) although it can be over looked simply because it's Poods. The black material catches fingerprints and other things very easily."
"And I agree with people who think this humor can only be understood by Bros and future Bros (?."
"I really love this book and I have been poods fan for 5 or 4 years and since I knew him on YouTube I was really happy during that day I saw him but one day my friend was feeling bad real bad , I gave her that book so she could feel better during the next day she knew about you and felt really happy with my book she wanted to give back but I told her keep it and ever since that day it made her day and im sitting here for poods replys to one of my comments on one of videos (still waiting here poods ) BROFIST :D cx."

Best Teen & Young Adult Adoption Issues

Prison Baby: A Memoir
A deeply personal and inspiring memoir recounting one woman's struggles--beginning with her birth in prison--to find self-acceptance Even at twelve years old Deborah Jiang Stein, the adopted daughter of a progressive Jewish couple in Seattle, felt like an outsider. "Prison Baby , one woman's profound quest for family and identity, is also a soul stirring call to arms on behalf of incarcerated women and their children. “A compelling story of loss, addiction, and healing…told with grace and much heart.”. —Heidi W. Durrow, New York Times best-selling author of The Girl Who Fell From the Sky “At a time when more and more women are being incarcerated worldwide, Deborah Jiang Stein's story of the secrets and ignominy surrounding her prison birth gives readers a brave account of the backlash children and society encounter when families are torn apart by addiction, prison, and shame. More than anything, Deborah's book is a call for an open-eyed examination of our broken criminal justice system, and a heartfelt plea for more compassionate responses to poverty and mental illness.”. —Naseem Rakha, author of The Crying Tree "A profoundly moving search for identify, Prison Baby is as inspiring as it is haunting. —Katrina Kittle, author of The Blessings of the Animals. “Prison Baby is an emotionally charged, transformative story about one woman's search for her true origins. Candid and searing, Deborah Jiang Stein's memoir is a remarkable story about identity, lost and found—and about the author's journey to reclaim—and celebrate—that most primal of relationships, the one between mother and child. I dare you to read this book without crying.”. —Mira Bartok, author of The Memory Palace " Prison Baby hits all the emotions of the who, what, where, when and why's of adoption right on the head of the nail!
Reviews
"When Deborah was twelve-years-old, she discovered, while snooping through her adoptive mother's dresser drawers, that her birth mother was a heroin addict and was in prison when Deborah was born. Deborah's writing style is superb; how could it not be?"
"This utterly fascinating story, about an adopted child who discovers she was born in prison, is so well written, so honest in its emotion, and so brave in its telling, is unforgettable."
"Deborah Jiang Stein tells the story of her prison birth in an amazingly powerful telling of not just her prison momma, but the author's slips through adolecence and adulthood."
"But as she travels to women's prisons, Deborah Jiang Stein finds many women who have had the experiences her first mother had-- of being forced to give birth in prison for crimes related to addiction. As an adoptive parent and as a recovering addict, the most pain I felt--the places I cried--were in Deborah's description of how sorry she felt was as her adoptive mother was dying. However, as a recovering addict, I do not fully forgive myself for my clueless, heartless behaviors when I had my emotions and empathy buried under an ocean of alcohol and I thank God I didn't have kids at the time, but I did have parents and I did hurt them and I do feel tremendous remorse about that. But I also found myself wishing that her mother had tried harder to understand Deborah's needs and especially had not kept the secrets from Deborah or tried to smother all questions with her love and her parental competence. At the same time, her parents adopted Deborah without any benefit of generational hindsight. "Adoption research surveys indicate that not until the 1970's did more than a thousand white families include adopted children of color. I was too scared to eke out even one word to her in response, to tell her I didn't feel part of anything.-DJS". My parents adopted my mixed-race (considered black) brother at almost the same time in US histgory as Deborah was adopted, the 1960's. Rendering someone invisible will result in a failure of empathy that Deborah experienced from her loving, privileged parents. Because of my personal experience and reflection, I was aware of these dynamics when we began our adoption journey but I really wanted to be a parent. When I announced (because I am the announcer) that my husband and I would attempt to adopt locally and seek same-race adoption, I ran into a world of problems that I won't go into for this review."
"An incredible book."
"This book clearly shows how broken the system is, This little girl's life could of been so different if she would of had answers early on."

Best Teen & Young Adult Literary Biography eBooks

Popular: Vintage Wisdom for a Modern Geek
New York Times Bestseller. A breakout teen author explores the true meaning of popularity and how to survive middle school in this hysterically funny, touchingly honest contemporary memoir. Gr 7 Up—The bright and perceptive Van Wagenen wanted to boost her popularity in middle school. Her modus operandi was intriguing: she used a 1950s teen etiquette book that her father found at a thrift store as a guide to climb the social ladder. The clash of eras and cultures is funny—the author wears a girdle, hat, and pearls to class; learns how to apply makeup; improves her posture and poise; and tries a diet. But the best lessons she learns from Fifties teen model Betty Cornell's Teen-Age Popularity Guide are about how to talk to and understand the people around her. Bravely visiting all the various cliques in the lunchroom and making conversation with her secret Sunday school crush, she becomes even more sensitive and aware—and yes, more popular. Van Wagenen's school, in Brownsville, TX, near the Mexican border, commonly experiences lockdown drills and warnings against gangs, and she casually mentions that smoke from a drug war in Matamoros, Mexico, is visible from her house. With a DreamWorks movie option in the works, this entertaining title should be in demand.—Liz French, Library Journal "I was inspired by her journey and made a point of saving a copy of 'Popular' for my sister, who starts middle school this fall. --Maude Apatow for the "New York Times Book Review". ""Popular "taps into a feeling shared by Bradbury and Bieber enthusiasts alike -- the need to fit in during middle school." --Gretchen Rubin, #1 bestselling author of" The Happiness Project" "Geeky and dorky, but never wimpy, Maya Van Wagenen is as powerful and honest as she.
Reviews
"I belong to a Young Adult book group (I'm just about to turn 50 but I still love reading kid lit and YA novels... good ones). My friend who has a 14 year old daughter told me about this book so I looked into it. I suggested it to our book group and we decided to all read it. I thought I'd read it and pass it along to my friend's daughter, but I think I'll have to keep it. Her awesomely supportive family, the whole idea of how she followed Betty's 1950's book to the letter (vaseline on the eyelids and wearing panty girdles! No spoilers here (that's a pet peeve of mine) but you will NOT be disappointed."
"Update - my daughter is 80% through and loves the way Maya writes, she doesnt always read what I recommend but this time she did!"
"At the end, Maya says she now knows that popularity isn't" clothes, hair, or even possessions. "Popular" is a book that resonates with so many people going through the unfair popularity trials of MS , including myself. I would recommend this book for anyone in middle school/ early HS, especially someone going through the whole "why does it seem like nobody likes me" and " Why does popularity seem based on such fickle things" phase."
"Here is her review: --- "Maya is an unpopular girl finishing her 8th grade year with an interesting experiment."
"She has a way of telling a story that makes you feel like you are experiencing it right along with her."
"This lovely book was so honest about the perils of middle childhood."
"What a cute book this was !"
"I love the confidence and inner strength she found, and I hope there's a follow up book as to what she's up to now!"
