I can. If by 12 you can't read such a simple thing as Age of Reason by the noted author... you're stupid. Not that it is exactly the world's most popular book... I mean: it bores me to tears. I have exactly zero interest in religion.
To improve '100facts'... i highly recommend it involve the things that teens are interested in. And drop the atheist bit in the title... as it will ensure the book is only read by atheists. And instead of 'must'... write it 'should'. This way it is a suggestion... not a demand. So 100 Facts Every Teen Should Know. More likely to sell, see?
And the more... the better. Write 10 times this much, and it will be 1000 Facts Every Teen Should Know.... just make sure they are all facts Better than 'facts' would be 'things'. 1000 Things Every Teen Should Know. I'd go with 1000 Things A Teen Might Want to Know... to imply that it is material here for you 'if you want it', and it personalizes it more... an attractive message to people who are gagging on biology textbooks being forced down their throats.
@FTM(<--this is an unfortunate abbreviation...) one doesn't need to be specifically taught critical thinking skills to achieve the ability to think critically.
Off topic... anyone ever deepthroat a biology textbook? Let me tell you if you haven't yet: it's not fun and it isn't going anywhere.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
