The Gift Of The Magic And Other Enchanting Character-building Stories For Smart Teenage Girls Who Want To Grow Up To Be Strong Women: ..

Includes The Wise Old King, a story that was read by Dr. Laura Schlessinger on the Dr. Laura show. "Teaching and Reaching Without Preaching (or Screeching)" The teenage years are a period when young people want to experiment, grow and try new things at the same time that they are not only going through emotional growing pains but are also extraordinarily hypersensitive to anyone (but especially a parent!) giving them advice. (As the saying goes: "You can always tell a teenager...but you can't tell him much!") These stories will not only provide pleasure and a gentle "heads up" warning about some wrong turns on the road of life but will also hopefully inspire conversations between children and their parents about the stories' subject matter and life lessons. As one early reviewer said, "The world needs more of this!"
