Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul III

Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Kimberly Kirberger

...

Chicken Soup series started in 1997. It has been the No. 1 New York Times bestseller over the past years. Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Kimberly Kirberger are the main contributors of the series.

In The Chicken Soup series, there are many stories and poems that were contributed by readers who have read Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soup and the other Chicken Soup for the Soul books. Those stories in the books are the real experiences of real people. These people may have experienced a tough time in their lives and felt discouraged because of setbacks. However, they all stood up again due to the love they felt, the encouragements that people gave them, such as from their parents, teachers, friends and even people they did not know at all.

Life is a struggle for teenagers. Not only do they have to deal with the tragedies that they have experienced but also those daily pressures that pervade their lives. Therefore, this book, like the first two volumes in the series, will help them, and will serve as their guide and constant companion. After all, it is a book full of inspirations.
