Teen Witch is easy to read and understand. It never presents the Wiccan path as the only "right" or "true" path and it is never condescending. RavenWolf writes about Wicca without getting preachy and makes the Wiccan lifestyle look appealing and exciting. The spells and practice guidelines are written with teens in mind.
Added Bonus: a special introduction written for concerned or worried parents that asks skeptical and/or fearful folks to read the book before passing judgement. RavenWolf presents a good case in favor of Wicca while pointing out that Wiccans have nothing to do with Satan, illicit drugs or violent rampages. She is quick to point out that many of the stereotypes about Witches are contrary to the central Wiccan principle of "Above all else, do no harm.".
It speaks to teens and shows how the Wiccan path can help you deal with everything from a broken heart to a crabby teacher. Exciting spells, easy breakdowns of the core principles of magick, and a fascinating presentation of Wiccan culture and ritual round out this most excellent book. Good for self help, self guidance, self improvement, and building self confidence.
