How Rude!^®

Praise for How Rude!^®
“It is difficult to make a topic like etiquette seem relevant and appealing to teenagers, but that is exactly what Packer accomplishes. Drawing heavily on surveys of teens, parents, and teachers to target which situations were most pertinent, the opening chapters successfully sell the importance of manners to both the individual and society . . . This is advice on issues that teens care about.”—Booklist

“A fun guide that teens may dip into when facing a confounding situation . . . Packer’s good nature and good sense make [How Rude!] a useful book for most collections.”—School Library Journal


Praise for the previous edition
“The most incredibly readable, enjoyable, laughable, enlightening, and insightful book.”—Voice of Youth Advocates

“Surprisingly simple ways for teens to respond to and interact with people to get the best results.”—YouthWorker Journal
