What is stress? I hear about it all the time, but what is it?

How do I know I’m stressed? Can stress ever be good? And what can we do to prevent stress from harming us?

Kaleb, Hannah, and Joe find answers to these questions and are hot on the heels of the stress monster in Don’t Stress About Stress.

This book explains how stress can express itself in different ways and includes simple tricks for everyday life to prevent stress from causing damage.

Don’t Stress About Stress is a strong conversation-starter for adults and children and is also a practical guide.

Here’s the set-up:

With multiple starred reviews, don’t miss this humorous, poignant, and original contemporary story about bullying, broken friendships, social media, and the failures of communication between kids. From John David Anderson, author of the acclaimed Ms. Bixby’s Last Day.

In middle school, words aren’t just words. They can be weapons. They can be gifts. The right words can win you friends or make you enemies. They can come back to haunt you. Sometimes they can change things forever.

When cell phones are banned at Branton Middle School, Frost and his friends Deedee, Wolf, and Bench come up with a new way to communicate: leaving sticky notes for each other all around the school. It catches on, and soon all the kids in school are leaving notes—though for every kind and friendly one, there is a cutting and cruel one as well.

In the middle of this, a new girl named Rose arrives at school and sits at Frost’s lunch table. Rose is not like anyone else at Branton Middle School, and it’s clear that the close circle of friends Frost has made for himself won’t easily hold another. As the sticky-note war escalates, and the pressure to choose sides mounts, Frost soon realizes that after this year, nothing will ever be the same.
