This week we have 50 copies of Nicola Morgan's Blame My brain up for grabs. Described as a 'carefully researched, accessible and humorous examination of the ups and downs of the teenage brain', it has chapters dealing with powerful emotions, the need for more sleep, the urge to take risks, the difference between genders and the reasons behind addiction or depression. Essential reading for parents of teens and pre-teens and for teenagers themselves.

If you're interested in reading, apply for a free copy. Come back to join the discussion and post a question to author Nicola Morgan.

Entered! I have been so taken by surprise by my 12yr old DD's teenage behaviour lately I could sure do with a little insight into the workings of her brain!!!

As Spock might say - fascinating.

So question - when did the idea for the book pop into your own brain? Or had it been brewing for a while? Or was it suggested to you?

have read the book and found it helpful. Does Nicola have any insight on dealing with those whose brain does not seem to develop beyond the teenage level?

Ooh, I have this book already and I absolutely love it. I like the way it's actually aimed at the monsters teenagers themselves. I'll go away and think of a question now.

With a 12 year old who has embraced Minecraft as if his life depends upon it, I could do with some extra insights - so long ago since I was a teenager that I can not really remember what it felt like in any useful manner!

Entered. I do love Nicola Morgan.

Can we ask her creative writing questions as well?
