"The Gifted Teen Survival Guide has done it again! This uniquely designed self-help guide shares what it means to be gifted by bringing the reader into the world of giftedness and showing how best to engage the creative, sensitive, highly cognitive mind of gifted individuals. Most impactful are the variety of gifted teen stories throughout the text that will resonate with the reader, helping them understand that it is okay to be who they are in a world that is sometimes resistant to their uniqueness.

Highly recommended."--Dr. Joy Lawson Davis, expert scholar in diversity & equity in gifted education, co-editor of Empowering Underrepresented Gifted Students
