Book Review: Grown & Flown by Lisa Heffernan and Mary Dell Harrington

Grown & Flown
by Lisa Heffernan and Mary Dell Harrington (649.125 Hef)

As the parent of a student who just turned sixteen years old recently and is already receiving applications to college in the mail, I thought this book would be essential reading for me. The purpose of this book is to help provide guidance for parents who are helping their children make the transition from high school to college — a daunting task for anyone. What began as a blog became a compilation of advice from mothers, teachers, college administrators and students who have made the transition from high school graduate to college freshman or have helped countless students to make that transition successfully. I found this book to be well-researched, funny and useful, all at once. Recommended for anyone with children currently in high school.
