Granbury High School, Granbury, Texas, librarian review: “This book packs a lot of information in its small size. With current pictures and information about such popular social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, and others, this book provides excellent up-to-date information. … Ms. Cook does a good job in presenting the facts and dispelling myths in regards to the topic presented as well as guiding students in making informed decisions and knowing who to go to for assistance.”

Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs from Writers Famous and Obscure (Harper Perennial, 2008).

Can you describe your life in six words? From the editors of Smith Magazine.

“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent
persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest
citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to
find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a bit
better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social
condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived – this is to have succeeded.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson
