Larva High School is aimed at teenagers 13+.
The series is fictional but inspired by the young people we work with as teen and family coaches. The books provides the reader with a large number of strategies we use in our one-on-one coaching sessions with young clients. By writing the Larva High School series, we hope to reach and inspire even more amazing young people… and their parents!
“Great teenage book. This is a great book for teens and their parents! It deals with issues that most teenagers will experience at some point. The book presents useful tools for dealing with friends, love, school, and parents together with a sweet love story..” – M. B.B.
“Five Stars! My 13 year old loves these books” – Byanne taylor
“Relevant and honest — much better than Twilight! Rarely do I stumble upon a book about teens and their problems that doesn’t seem like a self-help book (or worse, an episode of Dr. Phil). Mia and Stine have written one: Larva High School 1 is a believable little world that invites you to think about yourself: “What would I do in this situation?” “How would I react?” This kind of gentle but pointed introspection is what teens (and twenty-somethings like me) need.
Larva is also about real relationships and how they are maintained. Unlike most teen fiction (and romance novels), it’s honest about emotional tension and refuses to romanticize unhealthy behavior. It has strong protagonists who work hard to come up with their ethical systems — more than I can say for the Twilight series. LIKE much of teen fiction, it has an addictive plot. You will find yourself thinking about it often, even after you’ve finished it. Buy it for your teen. They’ll thank you.” – Lana
