So, You Want To Be a Leader?: An Awesome Guide to Becoming a Head Honcho

Gr 4–8-This book, the ninth in the series, comes close to packing more information than some might deem necessary into its pages. The content is organized well, and the author's tone is conversational and readable—students can peruse the chapters at their convenience. After an introductory chapter that highlights what it means to be a leader and describes the skills one might need, the book is organized by the type of leadership readers might aspire to, from political to spiritual. Spotlights that describe past and present leaders, as well as "Like a Boss" and "VIP" profiles, which include interviews with prominent teens and adults, are littered throughout. Each chapter also features simple ways in which tweens or teens can start a project that makes sense given their age. There's a lot of material crammed into a small space, but it works.
