It's Complicated: The American Teenager
by Robert Coles, Robin Bowman
4Q 3P JS
This book is a compilation of photographs and interviews with teens from all across America. In 2002, photographer Robin Bowman grabbed her camera, hopped in her car, and went on a road trip across the United States. She stopped along the way to photograph and interview over 400 teens. She asked them lots of questions about their interests and opinions, what their lives were like, and what they hoped their lives would become. The book includes a wide variety of teens, some of whom have very difficult lives and others who seem isolated from many of the world’s problems. All of them have something to say.
This is a good book for a teen who does not want to read lots of text. The photos are intriguing and draw readers in, making them want to know more about the person behind the picture. Bowman only includes part of her extensive interview, so there are many unanswered questions. Apart from being a quick and visually appealing read, the book can promote the developmental need of teens to learn about and respect people who come from different backgrounds. Some of the stories are incredibly sad and could help readers understand where they are coming from and why they made that decision, instead of automatically judging them.
