Read an Excerpt

All It Took Was a Smile
At the dinner table two years ago, my parents announced we were going to adopt a baby. I wasn't quite sure why we were doing this. There were already three kids in my family. Why would my parents want another kid?

Inspiration and Encouragement on Being Cool, Caring and Courageous!
Bettie and Jennifer Youngs are back with another new book in their award-winning series for teens. Like the taste berry (a little fruit that convinces your taste buds that all food is delicious, no matter how bitter) these inspirational short stories-by teens for teens-will encourage you to take "cool, caring and courageous" action in the many decisions you face in your life. In this book you'll discover:

• The changing faces of love and friendship
• The power of being a courageous human being-every step of the way
• The joy of believing in yourself and valuing your individuality
• The ability to hold your heart when dealing with your parents-even when you've lost a mom or dad
• New ways to motivate yourself and find your purpose
• The art of becoming cool-even when you feel nerdy!

Like the other books in this award-winning series, these true stories will inspire you to do your personal best in every area of your life. They will make you laugh; they will make you cry; they will make you smile in recognition at the mistakes and triumphs of other teens; and in the end, they will all help you become a cool, courageous and contagiously happy human being-in a word, a taste berry!
