99 Things to Do Before You Finish High School (Revised and Updated)

Gr 6 Up–An engaging, wide-ranging guide that introduces teens to practical skills and experiences they may not encounter in a traditional classroom. The book blends familiar milestones, such as getting a driver’s license, writing a résumé, or even confessing a crush, with less commonly discussed topics like talk therapy, astrology, and determining one’s blood type. By pairing everyday challenges with more unexpected subjects, the book makes some of its atypical entries feel more approachable and ­relevant. The content is organized into distinct sections, offering structure while still allowing readers to jump to the topics that interest them most. This broad skill set ultimately serves as an accessible outlet for teens who may have questions they don’t yet know how to articulate. The book acknowledges the uncertainties and curiosities that come with adolescence, providing guidance in areas both practical and personal. For readers who prefer a more collaborative or conversational ­approach, this tone could be off-putting and might discourage them from fully engaging with the material.
