Who Moved My Cheese? has helped millions of people around the world adapt and succeed in changing times. Now Dr. Johnson introduces his simple parable to teen readers-an audience whose lives are chock-full of change-and provides a teen discussion section to address the unique problems that teenagers face every day.
A group of friends are discussing a difficult change in their class schedule. To help them out, Chris tells the story of Who Moved My Cheese?, where four characters-Hem, Haw, Sniff, and Scurry-search through a maze for Cheese, a metaphor for what you want to have in life. As they find and lose the Cheese, some of the characters learn to move with the Cheese and discover how to deal with change. After Chris finishes the story, the friends discuss how it applies to the changes they all face, such as doing well at school, divorce, relationships, or just feeling good about one's self, and how they might react more positively in the future.
Using simple language and engaging characters to which any teen can relate, Who Moved My Cheese? for Teens offers a wonderful and entertaining way to get teens talking about the changes in their lives and provides insight that will last a lifetime.
