Practical life-skills books for teens 13-17

Real answers for the stuff school skips.

Jenna Hale is the pen name of a father who raised two sons through their teenage years — both now in their twenties, debt-free — and has spent years volunteering to talk with teenagers, in more than 1,000 conversations, about the stuff school doesn't teach: money, friendships, anger, confidence, and what happens after you turn 18. Every book in this series comes out of those conversations.
