"An important contribution for the education of young American Muslims providing important guidelines on becoming American and Muslim."--(Dr. Yvonne Yazbeck Haddad, Professor of the History of Islam and Muslim-Christian Relations, Georgetown University)

"What a book! Filled with basic information about Islam in a very straightforward way, it then applies these religious truths to the life of a teenager. I wish every major faith had just such a book for teens of their faith. We could then share them and learn to understand and respect each other and work together to build peace in the world."--(Dr. Paul Eppinger, Executive Director - Arizona Interfaith Movement)

"What a delightful, hilarious, wonderful, beautiful book! I loved it!"--(Reza Aslan, author of No God but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam)

I think it's one of the best books for our teenagers and new Muslims. The knowledge of Islam is clear and easy to understand. This book presents an intimate look at the lives of Muslims and the basic beliefs of Islam. Highly Recommended! (Shamshad Sheikh, Associate University Chaplain, Yale University)

Being a Muslim teenager in America has become that much easier with the publication of this much-needed and timely book. Written in a highly engaging, non-preachy style, the Handbook offers American Muslim teens answers to practically every question that may occur to them conerning lifestyle issues and religious concerns. Strongly recommended for not only these teenagers but their parents as well. (Dr. Asma Afsaruddin, Associate Professor of Arabic and Islamic Studies, University of Notre Dame)

"There's no magic formula to be a successful teen, but this book is close. Read what other kids your age had to say about the same things, and use this book as a springboard to discuss these issues with your parents and friends... I wish this book had existed when I was a teenager. The most important lesson to learn is that your Islam is yours, not anyone else's-not your parents', your siblings', or that wacky uncle who lectures you on the Qur'an at every Eid."--(Asma Gull Hasan, author of American Muslims: The New Generation and Why I Am A Muslim: An American Odyssey)

"I believe it is a path-breaking and invaluable window into how some Muslim teens are coping with the challenges of growing up in the West. I found it both eye-opening and encouraging. It gives me hope for the future. As such, it is a must read for all who care about the future of Islam in the West."--(Dr. Jeffrey Lang, author of Struggling to Surrender, Even Angels Ask: A Journey to Islam in America, and Losing My Religion: A Call For Help)
