description: <p>The rules of engagement for adolescents change rapidly from year to year and from school to school – but that there are some things that pretty much everyone needs to know: how to behave at a party, for instance, or how to engage with someone of a different background, or how to ("pardon me") pass gas in a dignified manner, as the occasion demands. Done in the retro style of the perennially popular 1940's "Dick and Jane" series, <i>How Not to Be a DICK</i> offers practical and helpful tips for navigating difficult social situations, and conveys its message with comedy and ease, using the tone and illustration style of the same period. The contrast between the innocent-looking characters and the real-talk advice on offer here allows the book to address difficult and complex situations without being overbearing or preachy. With illustrations throughout that enable easy navigation—especially for those with short attention spans (Thank you, Twitter)—this book is sure to be a modern classic.</p>
