Gr 5-7-Like other titles in the "Chicken Soup" series, this volume contains numerous short pieces of verse and prose, interspersed with comic strips of "Calvin & Hobbes," "Family Circus," and "Dennis the Menace," as well as pithy quotations selected as lead-ins to some of the pieces. The writings are grouped under headings such as "Achieving Dreams," "Overcoming Obstacles," "On Choices," and "Eclectic Wisdom" (for the bits that didn't fit elsewhere?). They are intended to encourage, inspire, and comfort. Each of the stories carries an author's name, and those written by young people give an age as well. Snail mail and e-mail addresses are included for those who want to respond to the book or submit stories and poems of their own. Children who loved Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul (Health Communications, 1998) will no doubt welcome another serving.-Elaine Fort Weischedel, Franklin Public Library, MA Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

This book is quite inspirational in the way that it can show that no matter how old or young you are, you can make a difference in your patch of the world.
Although it is an easy read, it is quite emotional in parts, if you are that sort of person.
would recommend it for over 10year olds, maybe older if they are not quite as mature.

My preteen sister wrote this: was an excellent read. It had a compelling that intrigued and excited me. The writing was amazing and clear. I really enjoyed the book. The book left me feeling and satisfied. However some parts I found a bit hard. Though most of it, I liked. And after reading it I felt good.
