Hott Review:
Tough Guys and Drama Queens is an amazing book that’s absolutely going to stay on my shelf, plus an extra copy to loan.
Whether you’re having problems or you think you’ve got it all under control, Tough Guys and Drama Queens will give you insight into teens and their peers.
I’ve watched so many kids turn out great, but just as many flounder and drift as the waves of life hit them. Growing up isn’t easy and today’s world requires completely different skills and experiences than the ones we had. Sure, in some ways they’re more immature than we were, but in others they’ve seen so much more than we ever did.
With years and countless experience, Mark Gregston shares his insights and suggestions on how to connect with the teens you love so much. Trust me, you wan to read Tough Guys and Drama Queens.
