by Peter Kuitenbrouwer

Every child has the potential to reach his or her personal goals, and will benefit from this collection of stories from "tweens" who have achieved success in different aspects of their lives. According to the twenty-two kids that were interviewed, keys to success include finding a good role model, being a loyal friend, and not being afraid to try new things -- realistic advice and strategies that will motivate young readers in their own endeavors. The New Edition of 7 Secrets of Highly Successful Kids contains the interviews which appeared in the 2001 edition, along with updates on where some of those kids are now. Find out if their "secrets" have helped them in the long run, or if their blueprints for success have changed over the past five years. The book also features several new interviews with motivated tweens, sure to inspire kids and the adults that care about them!

Kes ei tahaks teada, mis on eriti andekate laste edu saladused? Eks igaüks tahaks seda teada. Peter Kuitenbrouwer kirjeldab Ameerika edukate laste lugude põhjal nõuandeid, mis on nende laste elu taga. Nõuanded on asjalikud ja sobivad tegelikult igale lapsele, nt "jätka visalt ja pinguta lõpuni" või "ära karda proovida uusi asju". Kirjeldatud juhtumid ei ole küll ainult andekatest lastest, vaid pigem lastest, kes on saavutanud edu. Seda ütleb ka raamatu ingliskeelne pealkiri "7 secrets of highly successful kids", kuid eestikeelses pealkirjas on edukatest lastest saanud andekad.

I've been reading this in chunks. It's definitely the sort of book you can skim through and read passages you feel are currently relevant. It's actually been out on my table for a few months rather than put back on the shelf to gather dust - I keep opening it up and reading small sections fairly regularly.

Definitely a classic
