Catholic version of "Chicken Soup for the Pre-teen Soul."?

I was about to order the above title and wondered if there is something similar with a Catholic flavour.

With thanks,

Oh, I would certainly recommend NOT ordering the above title. My 12yodd checked it out at the library and I pulled it out to read it myself first. I did not like it one bit! The kids were relating how they coped in various situations, some rather dysfunctional, but I didn't think many of their "solutions" were very inspiring and one in particular that comes to mind was downright un-Christian. I know this sounds harsh, but I did read almost every entry and decided it would not help my daughter's character or virtue at all so we returned it.

I'm glad for this thread, because I would love to find a Catholic version, which of course was your original request. Sorry I couldn't help with that!

I do like some other "Chicken Soup..." books, just not this one.
