We all have moments in our lives that help to define us, to make us who we are. Many of these happen during adolescence. I.D. Stuff that Defines us is a compilation of 12 episodes from the lives of real teens. Each of the stories is about a defining moment in their life- getting hit by a father, getting in a street fight, pretending to be an orphan, a youth camping trip. Each story is presented along with wistful illustrations.
I loved this book. It was really interesting to read about defining moments for real people and how they coped with them. It would be an excellent book for teens to read and I can see it being especially useful for guidance to use. Teens today have to deal with a lot of tough things- this book has stories of real people living through many of the same things that teens today have to live through. It can give teens insights into how to cope themselves. I especially loved that at the end was a listing of phone numbers and website for teens to call if they need help.
