Book #1 in the Self-Help 101 Series
Dani Finklemeier has decided to write a self-help book about how to take over the world, but she’s not sure where to start. After all, she’s only seventeen and looking for a better way to make money than babysitting. She buys a self-help book that promises to teach her how to write a self-help book in the hope of getting the job done.
Not that it’ll be easy to get any work done this holiday season. Her family is staying at the house for Christmas, and fights break out almost immediately. Dani also has to deal with the fallout from an unexpected kiss with her best friend Seth and the feelings that go along with it. On edge around her family and unsure how to interact with the one person she’s trusted with everything in the past, she can only take what inspiration she can from the crazy circumstances surrounding her and see what happens.
One way or another, it should be an interesting holiday.
SelfHelp 101 or How I Learned to Take Over the World Through Tolerating My Family edition by LG Keltner Children eBooks
In this lighthearted story, seventeen-year-old Dani Finklemeier has to get through the holiday season in a house filled with assorted family members who are in varying degrees of craziness. There's upright Grandma Pearl and philosophical Grandpa Phillip; Uncle George and Aunt Carrie locked in an ongoing squabble; her favorite family member, the open-minded and ultra cool Great Uncle Stewart; and Great Aunt Ruth Ann who springs the biggest surprise of all!What a bunch!
Amidst the chaos, Dani is also trying to make sense of the change in dynamics between her and her long-standing friend Seth.
The story left me wondering, is it possible that a self-help book lives in every writer, just waiting to be discovered? Maybe something along the lines of The Writer-Muse Relationship 101: Or 101 Ways To Ease Your Writerly Blues.
There's all sorts of shenanigans, plenty of conflict and great laughs too!
Everything works out at the end...a charming tale!

SelfHelp 101 or How I Learned to Take Over the World Through Tolerating My Family edition by LG Keltner Children eBooks Reviews
With the holiday season almost upon her, seventeen-year-old Dani Finklemeier prepares for the chaos. The anticipation makes for a tense house, and when her family finally arrives, she's at the center of a fight that breaks out in the foyer. To top it off, Dani is trying to make sense of her feelings for her best friend Seth. She tries to escape and write a self-help book about how to take over the world. She fast realizes that the tactics her family uses are the perfect inspiration. But will she survive Christmas to finish the tale?
A wonderful holiday surprise when I started reading this on my . It's fun and quirky and had me laughing out loud as the cat stared at me suspiciously. Dani isn't the typical teenage girl and I related as well as sympathized with her immediately. I remember those crazy times during the holidays and the ugly Christmas sweaters! Though I suspect the ones Great Aunt Ruth Ann gave Dani and her family were much more hideous. It has a sweet YA romance and lots of silly family antics. There are actually a few really good tips to help you take over the world in the book, but it might leave you feeling too warm and fuzzy at the end to want to crush your enemies!
This was a quick, fun read. Dani (teenager) has to endure Christmas in a small house with 9 members of her family. It immediately brought to mind National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, although the level of zaniness is toned down enough so that you could easily imagine these characters as real people. The older relatives are judgmental and just plain mental. The middle age ones carry on psychological warfare with each other, and the young ones hide in various rooms to stay out of the way. The subplot of Dani falling in love with her best friend, Seth, was very sweet. The premise of Dani composing a self-help book in which she rewrites the insanity going on around her as tips for taking over the world actually works well. I loved the surprise twist at the end involving Great Aunt Ruth Ann.
Wow! I did not expect to enjoy this short book as much as I did. Funny, informative, and heartwarming. How did the author pack so much emotion into this?
As a fantasy writer, I found actual useful tips for my main characters. Generally, a book with how-to instructions is straightforward and dull. This creatively weaves a list in with a story of family and romance at Christmas time.
The title, by the way, is a result of the book the main character is writing. Keep an eye on Keltner because this is an author with serious potential.
Anyone whose house has been a bit too full for Christmas and whose relatives and siblings don’t always get along will completely understand Dani’s situation as the holidays—and the relatives—descend on her home.
After deciding to write a self help book to break into the big leagues, Dani’s left with one problem—what to write about. Family feuds, a peeping cousin, and juggling sleeping arrangements become fodder for her imagination and she transforms her frustration into a manifesto for taking over the world, or in this case, just surviving the holidays with her family and getting her boy “friend” to be a boyfriend. Nothing’s too hard for smart, resourceful Dani to tackle! You’ll get a good laugh out of the family squabbles, kitchen klatsches, and advice to wanna-be emperors! Highly recommended!
Yeah sure, I read a Christmas story in the middle of the summer, but I regret nothing. Self-Help 101 was a lot of fun, a solid, heart-warming tale of family strife and teenage moodiness that works all year round.
I really liked the premise of the main character writing a book inside the book, and her little nuggets of advice for “taking over the world” fit in well with the story. It was a neat concept that added to the tone and didn't feel awkward.
The characters were well rounded and believable, and I especially enjoyed the older relatives - who easily could have devolved into caricatures - were actually the smartest and most sensible of the cast.
So yeah, all and all a great little book and I would recommend it as a fine way to pass a few hours (admittedly probably moreso around the holidays). I look forward to Ms Keltner’s next one!
