For the first time, living legends andpopular heroes tell teens how theysurvived their adolescence
When they were 11 and 14, respectively, brothers Robert and William Hatch embarked on anambitious project: to discover how many of their heroes dealt with the challenges of earlyadolescence.

In addition to the interviews, each chapter contains abrief biography of the selected interviewee, along with the fascinating back story of how the brothersmade contact with the hero in question.
