I love Klutz books. I'm actually not a teen, but the mother of one, and I think they're great for anyone who's looking to try out a new craft. The books always come with everything you need to create, so you're ready to start right off the bat and don't need to read the book, then go purchase necessary items. They either explain terminology or use simple directions, which even as an adult I appreciate. When you're learning something new, you need it broken down into simple, visual steps, and this book does just that.
