My kids brought this book home from the school's book swap. I really enjoyed it. :)

I read this book years and years ago. I don’t remember it too well, but I know that it didn’t apply to me much. Half the things in the book I was never going to do. It tells you how to survive many different situations but I don’t remember half of what it said to do, so it goes to show you it didn’t work to well :P
