As we reach our teen years, our worlds, both internal and external, become a lot bigger, messy and complicated. This series for young adults aged 13 and above is packed full of information to support teens as they navigate life and develop a sense of self.

Whether you're seeking out information for yourself or looking for the perfect gift for a young person in your life, the Usborne Life Skill books are our top recommendation. The books all cover a range of different topics, from online safety, mental health and friendships to helping the environment and managing our money. And in each title, readers get in-depth coverage of their topic of choice, long-term tips for support and links to professionally approved websites with more advice and support. We've found these books to be incredibly accessible, with illustrations throughout and infographics, and we think they are some essential reads for young people taking their first steps entering today's world on their own.
