FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Teen Ink:
Friends and Family
Edited by
Stephanie H. Meyer and John Meyer
"This book is the answer to anyone who complains that American teens don't
express their ideas very well or that they don't have many ideas worth
expressing. The essays, stories, poetry, and art in these pages let us see things
through fresh and unspoiled eyes. There is youthful insight here that the world
seems to take from us when we grow up, and grow old"
Charles Osgood, radio commentator and host, CBS Sunday Morning
"As a parent and storyteller, I find great hope for the future based on the depth of feeling and
creativity in this unique book."
George Lucas film-maker
"Teens looking for more substantial fare than music videos, mall sales, and
fashion magazines should check out Teen Ink. Adults, too, will gain insight into
adolescent concerns."
US Airways Attaché magazine
Written entirely by teens, this third volume of
the remarkable Teen Ink series focuses on the emotional peaks and valleys of
teenagers' relationships with their friends and family. Whether it's that special
moment between friends, siblings or a grandparent and grandchild, the agony of an
unexpected loss or the fun of a day off from school Ð all are explored in this
diverse collection of prose, poetry and artwork selected from over twelve years
of publishing teens in the nationally acclaimed Teen Ink monthly magazine. These
teenagers write with honesty, insight and creativity as they share firsthand the
realities of life as a teen.
The best part about the Teen Ink series is
that a unique vision is created with every piece, each one brought to life by
teen writers, artists and photographers who see their worlds in astonishing ways.
The third book is divided into sections including Snapshots: Friends and Family,
Out of Focus: Facing Challenges, Candids: Everyday Experiences, Portraits: Moms
and Dads, Passports: Finding New Places, Landscapes: Stories of Grandparents,
Double Exposures: Changes in Our Lives, and Close Ups: Revisiting Our Memories.
Readers will find stories touching on every aspect of life from a youthful, fresh
perspective.
Teen Ink illustrates the depth of teenage talent, emotion and
imagination. This collection of prose and poetry represents the honest and
compelling moments that define their lives. The stories are well-crafted and
filled with feelings derived from real-life events - emotions not of the surface,
but of the soul. These pieces will stick with you - at times even leaving you in
tears, or having you ponder their not-so-obvious conclusions. You may think about
your own life, and remember times when you had similar reactions, also perhaps
wondering how you would make it to the next day.
Teenagers seek out books
that speak to them in unique and meaningful ways. Over the past twelve years,
millions of teenagers have found a voice in the pages of Teen Ink magazine. Now,
with the release of Teen Ink: Friends and Family, many more will be introduced to
Teen Ink as a forum for their deepest concerns, fears and dreams. They will see
that the difficulties of life are not only universal, but conquerable, and they
will understand that in a world of seemingly never-ending obstacles, they are
never as alone as they once thought.
Available at bookstores nationwide and online.
