I got this book to better understand my daughter who was 14 at the time. She took the book away from me to read it. I kept hearing "this is ME!" and "look, mom, this is why I am this way." She felt reassured that she was normal and is embracing her strengths. She has been happier with herself and is interacting with other teens and adults much better; she has "come out of her shell". I highly recommend this book to introverted preteen/teens and their parents. It really describes the introverted traits well and the questionnaire is helpful. MJM
