My Teenage Werewolf
A Mother, a Daughter, a Journey Through the Thicket of Adolescence
"Straight from the trenches, a mom's tale of weathering her daughter's transformation from sweetheart to snark mouth." - People With the eye of a reporter, the curiosity of an anthropologist, and the open-and sometimes wounded-heart of a mother, award-winning author Lauren Kessler launches an eighteen-month mission, embedding herself in her about-to-be-teenage daughter Lizzie's life. Everywhere from middle school classrooms to the mall, from summer camp to online chat groups, Kessler observes and chronicles-and sometimes participates in-the vibrant, dynamic, and scary life of a twenty-first-century teen.
