Summary: MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
Comment: I suppose I must be a teen at heart because I truly enjoyed this book, "More Than a Label." Teen author Aisha Muharrar does an outstanding job in making one stop and think
of all the times we, as individuals, label each other and why!
Giving teens input from their peers, the author shares a survey that more than 1,000 teens from across America took part in, as they explored labeling and what it meant to them. How they felt being labeled a Geek, Freak, Jock, just to name a few. Quite an eye opener!
She breaks her book down into three parts:
"What's in a Label?", "How Labels Make People Feel.", and "What You Can Do About Labeling." In each section she tells others experiences, asks the reader questions and
interacts with you, the reader. Very good job at making one think about what they are reading!
I not only recommend this for teens, but feel adults would benefit from this read, as well. After all, do we stop labeling because we turn 21? I think not!
A book that will make you know that you are more than a label, and why. Good job Ms. Muharrar, I hope to review other works by you in the future.

Summary: Teenaged society's tendency to label and pigeonhole
Comment: More Than A Label: Why What You Wear Or Who You're With Doesn't Define Who You Are by teenager Aisha Muharrar is an informative examination of teenaged society's tendency to label and pigeonhole one another into categories like "jock", "geek", "preppy", and so on. A survey of more than 1,000 American teens offers insight into how teenagers across America think and tend to automatically label one another. Various chapters address what labels are, how they can make people feel, and how one can break the label habit and help others do the same. The central message of More Than A Label is "Labels don't define you. YOU define you." It is a message that young people today desperately need to hear. More Than A Label is strongly recommended for high school and community library self-help and social issues collections.
