Teens Cook Dessert

Sisters Megan and Jill Carle understand what other teens know and don’t know about cooking and baking, and they clearly describe and explain everything their peers need to do to produce fabulous results. With an interactive, colorful design and tons of mouth-watering photos, these books teach teens and tweens to be independent in the kitchen and have an awesome time while they’re at it. ~Joyce


AlternaCrafts: 20+ Hi-Style Lo-Budget Projects to Make
By Jessica Vitkus

Interesting crafts that can be made out of recycled household items are just what a DIY teen will appreciate. There is the relatively simple page layout and informal writing style; the ideas are organized into things to wear, projects for the home, and gifts. Old pants are transformed into a purse, and pop-bottle lids become pendants. Some projects are quite involved, while others can be accomplished in a few minutes. Each idea contains clear, step-by-step instructions geared to beginners. Unfamiliar terms are defined in context or in sidebars. ~Joyce

Hardwear: Jewelry from a Toolbox
By Hannah Rogge

Independent, innovative, and fearless teen (and older) crafters will thrive on making something out of nothing and showing off their style. This book presents 24 striking, easy-to-make pieces of jewelry fashioned from nuts and metal washers, S hooks and O rings, rubber sheeting and rubber tubing, and other inexpensive, readily available hardware. ~Joyce
