Part of How Rude! Handbooks for Teens Series
How Rude!: The Teen Guide to Good Manners, Proper Behavior, and Not Grossing People Out is a proven best seller. This miniseries for tweens and younger teens continues Alex Packer’s tradition of serious and hilarious etiquette advice. All three volumes are based on his original How Rude!, with notable differences: the books are smaller and shorter, the language is simpler, and each book focuses on a specific area of a teen’s life. Friendly, funny, and accessible, this trio is “Etiquette Ed” for every teen.
