How to Be a High School Superstar

This is a book I wish I had read as a teen. The title certainly grabs your attention, but essentially the book teaches you, not just how to get into college, but about how to be a life-long learner.

This was one of two books I asked (made) my daughter read the summer before she started high school. She was reluctant at first because she was tired of my quoting from Cal Newport's “Deep Work.” But, when she was done, she asked me to buy his other book, “How to be a straight A student.”
