Don't Eat Like a Neanderthal: A Modern Teen's Guide to Manners, Social Skills, and Life Etiquette

By Kathleen McDermott

Do you know how to make a great first impression, survive a group chat without causing chaos, and get through a meal without horrifying your table mates?

If not-you're not alone.

Don't Eat Like a Neanderthal is the ultimate survival guide for modern teens who want to master manners, boost their social skills, and walk into any room (or group chat) with confidence-without turning into a stiff, boring robot. This isn't about which fork goes where (okay, maybe a little). It's about learning how to be someone people actually want to sit with, talk to, text back, and invite again.

From lunch tables to DMs, this book tackles real-life etiquette for real-life situations-with humor, honesty, and absolutely zero snobbery.

You'll learn:

Why appearance and posture actually matter (no cape required)

How to handle digital drama like a legend

The art of apologizing-and meaning it

Table manners that won't make your friends cringe

How to RSVP like a pro and show up like you mean it

Packed with quizzes, challenges, and laugh-out-loud advice, this book doesn't just tell you what to do-it shows you how to own it.

Perfect for ages 11-16 (and anyone who's ever been side-eyed for chewing too loud).
