Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook Now in Tween Size

Aaron Burgess — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 19:32:00 GMT

Whether you're adjusting to parenthood, navigating a minefield, or surviving a stint in a Turkish prison, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook's David Borgenicht and his band of merry co-authors have a guide to get you through it. Now, Borgenicht and Robin Epstein bring the series down to tween size with The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Junior Edition, a 128-page guide that'll help tweens overcome everything from farting in public to getting lost in the woods to hiding in the corner at a school dance.

Despite the book's nudge-wink tone, it's packed with extremely practical advice for surviving the awkward years (oh, how I could've benefited from learning to fix a busted zipper with a safety pin...), as well as several chapters, such as "How to Make Your Room Shipshape," that are secretly aimed at pleasing grown-ups even as you're pulling one over on them. Case in point (click to enlarge):

The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Junior Edition is available for $9.95 at Amazon.com and offline booksellers everywhere.
