Review Quotes

"Even the most plugged-in teen knows that a daily diet of too much screen time is not healthy. The Ultimate Activity Book for Teens delivers a delicious smorgasbord of fun and engaging exercises. Each puzzle or game is the perfect bite-size brain break teens need, with high-interest themes that will keep them coming back for more. This book is perfect for a pre-homework refocus, travel, or everyday fun." --Lisa Underwood, Youth Services Director, Lower Macungie Library

"This activity book is a wonderful resource for a teacher looking for a variety of puzzles that offer a mental gym workout for teens. They come in multiple levels, which are great to adapt for your students. I like them for a change of pace when a test taker is done early, or when you need something in your back pocket on a rainy day." --Scott Fritchman, high school math teacher and father of two teen boys

"What a relief it was to find a book that provides my teen with a variety of diverse and engaging activities to keep him off the screen. This activity book has a perfect flow of clearly labeled and sensibly organized brain exercises that can be used anywhere we go! Having a child with autism and ADHD often means we struggle to keep him occupied when traveling or enjoying a night out at a restaurant. This book will never get boring for him with the range of puzzles and brain teasers it offers. I especially love the 2-player games! Who says this is just for teens? I LOVE IT TOO! I want to get a copy for everyone I know!" --Jenae Holtzhafer, founder and executive director of The Kindness Project
