Worst-Case Survival Scenario Handbook: Junior Edition

Your kid may never need to know how to wrestle free from an alligator or survive a fall from an airplane (and, hopefully, neither will you), but as anyone who’s survived adolescence will attest, there is still much to be dreaded about those years.

The latest book in the Worst-Case Scenario Handbook franchise is aimed at tweens (ages 9-12) and provides practical advice for sticky situations like making friends when you’re the new kid in town, dealing with bullies or menacing dogs and what to do if you step in poo (answer: "the scrape, scrape, twist move").

The book is available for $10 here. Four chapters of the book are available to download as a free preview (here.)

off topic but anyone have an idea of why my "back" button won't work on this site? it's only on this site and doesn't matter where I access it from I can no longer "go back" and this started happening a few weeks ago. Anyone else? AT?

If you click the down arrow next to the back button, you will see that a few other pages (google page ads) are loading every time you click on a link on apartment therapy. I've been having that trouble for several weeks, and I've seen others complain about it, but nothing has been done.

By clicking the down arrow next to the back button, you can also scroll down to the page you want to go back to and click on that. It's not as convenient as pressing the back button, but it's more convenient than pressing the back button four times.

Thanks, heps, I've been experiencing this problem too, but thought it was just me. For me, it's only a problem when using IE.
