Excellent stories, meaningful and insightful, right from the teens themselves. I will be purchasing this for my high school library.

StoryBooth is a beautiful collection of the true stories from teens and Young adults that capture the turmoil and joy of being young in today's world. Though each of the stories are unique, they all have a unifying theme of perseverance and strength. This was a wonderful collection of stories to read and I hope that story booth will publish more in the future.

Being a teen is tough. So is telling a cohesive story out of the pain that you suffer. We see dozens of stories from real teens, and most don't have happy endings or satisfying conclusions. But these stories do provide hope, that one can get out of this situation.

The voices of teens will be heard. I loved the stories these kids had to tell and the artwork that accompanied their stories was beautiful. It reminds us of when we were teens and how different the world seemed. Loved this. Will be purchasing it for my library.

This book is a compilation of stories submitted by teens. I hadn’t heard of Storybooth or its popular Youtube channel until I received this digital ARC.I thought the artwork that accompanied the stories was great and made the book feel almost like a graphic novel. I really appreciated the vulnerability in these stories from challenges with fitting in, to mental health struggles, to trying to meet parental expectations of academic success. I think this is a great YA read for teens to know that they are not alone and that other people their age struggle with the same things they do. Thank you to NetGalley for the digital ARC and the opportunity to share my opinions on the book!

5 stars for all of these brave and powerful stories coupled with gorgeous illustrations~

This is the kind of book I wish I had growing up, particularly around those rough years between middle school and high school.

TW: mentions of abuse, SA, pandemics, bullying, self-harm, mental health issues, and more.

This book showcases a collection of stories, all written by real people. They are all illustrated as well, with quotes and mini blurbs throughout. The illustrations are well-done, colorful, but most importantly powerful. This is almost like a method of storytelling that reads similar to a graphic novel x compendium. The stories range from many topics that may be hard for some readers [see aforementioned TW*] While some topics covered are difficult to read, they also may provide some solace and understanding for today's youth going through challenging issues.

Thank you to NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books, HarperTeen for the digital ARC for review~

A great book to remind kids that no matter what they are struggling with, whether it be a parent’s disease or something at school, they are not alone-and in their own words!. A perfect addition to any classroom or school library.

Very nice book for teens covering all walks of life. I liked the art and visuals that brought these stories to life and I really think any teen would enjoy this. I didn't have exposure to storybooth in the past but that was not a hindrance in any way. Reminds me a little bit of Chicken Soup for the Soul for Teens but a modernized take.

I think my teen would love this! The artwork really works with the book. The stories were incredible.

I literally couldn’t put this book down from the moment I picked it up. Loved this book of pick me up, relevant and real stories of all walks of life. Was a story with a a graphic novel all in one. Highly recommend. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Thank you NetGalley and HarperCollins Children's Books for the digital ARC of 'Storybooth'.

I have never actually followed the Storybooth videos, even though I was vaguely aware they had a website, and a YouTube channel. But, after reading this book that actually changed my mind.

Storybooth used beautiful art and color to show us the stories of teens going through challenges while trying to navigate High School. It's been around 15 years since I was last a student, but some of these stories just really hit home, and reminded me that some things in High School never change, and also made me realize that some things after High School stay the same as well - but these are things that you can face.

This would be a perfect read for kids and adults just to be reminded you're not alone in a situation, and to have empathy for those around you. I have so many students that deal with things that are featured in here, and I want so badly to be able to show them this book.

5/5
