Based on NLP techniques, this is a sparky, positive handbook for navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence, teaching teens the kinds of things that can often get left out of the standard school curriculum - how to get out of an argument; ways to relax; understanding your personality; and making those important and potentially daunting decisions about what is going to happen beyond compulsory education. Hodgson delivers his training with warmth and humour and packs the pages with with games and activities that could easily and usefully be worked into a classroom session. There's a website (thebuzzbook.co.uk) too, featuring free resources including personality tests, excerpts from the book, MP3 downloads and 'Ask the Buzz' - an online advice service especially for teens.
