VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates) February 2012 Galbraith, Judy and Jim Delisle. The Gifted Teen Survival Guide: Smart, Sharp, and Ready for (Almost) Anything . Free Spirit, 2011. 272p. $15.99 Trade pb. 978-1575423814. Index. Illus. Charts. Further Reading. This new edition of the standard guide contains new information and updates for today's gifted teenagers. Previous editions were titled, The Gifted Kids' Survival Guide: A Teen Handbook . New survey information gathered from 1,400 teens forms the basis for this edition. In sidebars called, "The Survey Says," students are quoted on subjects such as IQ testing, developing a philosophy of life, and what makes a great teacher. "Gifted People Speak Out" are essays written by adults about their experiences as gifted teens. Quizzes and lists of tips (e.g., "12 Tips for Making and Keeping Friends," "10 Tips for Talking to Teachers," "10 Tips for Combating Perfectionism") provide specific suggestions for handling complex issues facing gifted students, and also provide means for directly engaging readers. The book is organized into nine chapters including information on questions such as: What is giftedness and intelligence? How do I experience the world and deal with intense feelings? How can I manage time and handle stress? How can I advocate for school changes that better suit my needs? What educational alternatives do I have (e.g., home schooling, online universities, virtual learning)? How do I choose a college and make decisions about internships and gap years? What should I do if I'm teased, bullied, or cyberbullied? When is it important to please (or not) my parents? What if I am gifted and gay, or twice exceptional (gifted and have a disability)? This guide is readable, engaging, and positive without being moralistic. It offers answers and suggestions that are not simplistic. In today's financial climate, many programs for gifted teenagers have been cut, leaving students to act as their own advocates. This book can help them negotiate their way through the snares of being a teenager with confidence and success.- Florence Munat., "A truly excellent, thorough, and up-to-date book!

Synopsis
Based on new surveys of nearly 1,500 gifted teens, this book is the ultimate guide to thriving in a world that doesn't always support or understand high ability. Full of surprising facts, survey results, step-by-step strategies, inspiring teen quotes, and insightful expert essays, the guide gives readers the tools they need to appreciate their giftedness as an asset and use it to make the most of who they are. The fourth edition has been revised for a new generation of high-end learners and includes information on twice-exceptionality, emotional and social intelligence, creativity, teen brain development, managing life online, testing and standards, homeschooling, International Baccalaureate programs, college alternatives, STEM careers, cyberbullying, and other hot topics.
