Chicken Soup for the Kid's Soul is a place to turn for all those kids who want answers and encouragement and help to realise that dreams can really come true.Sometimes life is a total blast, from scoring a winning goal to hanging out with your friends. Yet other times, life is too complicated: You seem to see violence everywhere you turn, more parents are getting divorced, your best friend moves away, or you feel like you don't fit in. Never has there been a time in history when kids have needed Chicken Soup for their souls more than now. With funny stories about friendship and family, and serious stories about heroic kids and difficult choices, this book is designed to encourage you to love and accept yourself; to let you know that there are answers to your questions; and to give you hope for the future
