A Teen’s Guide to Modern Manners
Poems by Sam Norman, Illustrations by Jack Parham
A girl texts so much that she forgets how to speak.
A boy refuses to shower and is adopted by gorillas.
A dozen others suffer from tiny teenage flaws, and meet with grisly comeuppances.
These comic poems navigate the jungle of adolescent problems… and form an unintentional guide to modern teenage manners. Written in rhyming couplets and accompanied by Jack Parham’s wonderfully funny illustrations, this book is the perfect stocking-filler for anyone who was, is, or will be a teenager.
A Teen’s Guide was published by Little, Brown in 2016. You can buy it on Amazon here – or, even better, order it from your local bookshop!
