"""By speaking to a teen audience, Roberts addresses mindfulness and anxiety with a cool, playful, yet sophisticated voice. For those who have anxiety, who wouldn't want a safe, comfy way to learn about what is going on? Second, Roberts breaks down her information into chunks, so as not to overwhelm the reader, and she provides creative, diverse, and carefully scaffolded follow-up exercises for each section.
