A twelve-year-old reads the grooming, food and emotions sections and skips the car. A seventeen-year-old goes straight to money, car care and directions.

Is this going to sit on a shelf?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePossibly for a week. It isn't written to be read cover to cover — thirteen short sections, a real table of contents, and headings they can scan.

It talks to your teenager directly, in their language, which is the whole reason it gets opened. You hand it over and step back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy not just let them look it up online?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey will, and they'll get it mixed in with whatever the algorithm decided they should see that day. This is the same information in one place, in an order that makes sense, with nothing selling them anything on the next page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I buy two or three copies?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost people do. One for your own teenager, one for the cousin or the godchild or the friend's kid who is about to hit the same wall. It's the graduation and birthday gift that doesn't get opened once and forgotten.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I read it with them or just hand it over?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHand it over. Most parents do, then pick one section a fortnight later — money, or the car — as a way into a conversation that would have been awkward to start from nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDRAFT — section titles are taken from the book's own table of contents and are verified.
