More About Teen Ink:
What Matters
Life's an adventure. What have you learned? In this fifth installment of the
Teen Ink series, What Matters goes where no book has gone before,
giving voice to teens around the world in a collection of their personal, real
and un-adult-erated stories. With startling honesty and originality, the young
authors tell it like it is about what they value, who they are and what truly
matters in life.
Is the purpose of life a life of purpose? Should you never, never,
never, ever give up? Is laughter the best medicine? These are just some of the
universal truths the young authors tackle. Prepare to be moved and inspired by
over one hundred stories from teens collected from more than 88,000 submissions
in which they share their insights and wisdom for all of us on this adventure we
call life.
