Product Description
Zoe and Evan Stern know firsthand how it feels when your parents divorce. When their parents split they knew their lives would change but they didn’t know how. A few years later, when they were 15 and 13 years old, they decided to share their experience in this positive and practical guide for kids. With some help from their mom, Zoe and Evan write about topics like guilt, anger, fear, adjusting to different rules in different houses, dealing with special occasions like birthdays, adapting to stepparents and blended families, and much more. Including updates from grown-up Zoe and Evan 10 years later, this honest guide will reassure children of divorce that, though it may seem it sometimes, it’s not the end of the world.
“Here is a great resource for tweens and teens…from two of their own. Zoe and Evan give a helpful perspective to other kids that will aid them with their own divorce experiences. Their words and advice ring true.
–VICKI LANSKY, author of Vicki Lansky’s Divorce Book for Parents: Helping Kids Cope with Divorce and Its Aftermath

Divorce Is Not the End of the World: Zoe’s and Evan’s Coping Guide for Kids
I bought this, and several other books on divorce, to share with my 11 year old son and 8 year old daughter. Although we went throught the divorce process several years ago my children were younger and didn’t have the questions and concerns they seem to have now. They have also had to adjust to their father’s new wife and children. I had noticed recently that they seemed to really be struggling with a lot of new feelings. This book addressed a lot of these feelings and gave great insight from both a child’s perspective and a mother’s perspective. Some of the chapters that hit home with my children were “Where I’d rather live: If you wish you could change your living situation”, “Nobody asked my opinion: If you are mad, sad, or scared” and “I don’t want another sister: If you have to deal with blended families”.
Throughout the book there are real life examples of kids questions and great answers by the authors. There are also “quick tips” and other useful tidbits my children really related to. All in all this is one great book among many, but it made a difference in our lives. Thank you Zoe, Evan and Ellen Sue Stern!

Divorce Is Not the End of the World: Zoe’s and Evan’s Coping Guide for Kids
Divorce is Not the End of the World, now in paperback, is a revised and updated edition of the 1997 version.
With almost half of the marriages in the United States ending in divorce, a lot of kids are impacted. Even if some children have not personally experienced divorce in their family, they most assuredly know kids who have have. This is a difficult situation and Zoe and Evan Stern’s book can provide some helpful information that is practical and thought-provoking.
The added advantage of the Sterns’ book is that their mother, Ellen Sue Stern, weighs in with information and answers. Together the three Sterns offer kids some guidance, encouragement and the knowledge that they are not alone, that their questions are normal, the feelings they are experiencing are okay and that divorce is difficult, but it is not the end of the world.
Armchair Interviews says: A practical guide for teens and pre-teens from kids who have gone through divorce themselves.
