This is a great collection of fun stories for your tweener. It's hard to find book collections not aimed at the teenage crowd.

Book: Every Man for Himself
Author: Editor, Nancy Mercado, multiple authors
Characters: Many “Guys”
Setting: Various
Theme: coming of age for young men
Genre: fiction
Audience: ages 14 +
Curriculum: Great high/low book for young men growing into their own. Good for a health class, or even when they get that puberty lesson.
Summary: Collection of short stories: one story a “guy” shoots his Dad in the butt with a BB gun, a “guy” with super powers and a “guy” who’s little brother is braver than him. Stories are intended to last the decades for all young men to relate to.
Personal Response: Good book some funny stories that can give insight on the male gender and help with those hard times for young men in defining their manhood. Who knows when it happens or if it will happen more than once.… (plus d'informations)

The Unbeatable by Mo Willems - This is a superhero story about a guy who is betrayed by the girl he likes. I like superheroes, but the whole thing was so two dimensional, it was pretty boring.
