The Tuttle Twins and the 12 Rules Boot Camp

Tuttle Twins #13

by Connor Boyack, Elijah Stanfield (Illustrator)

What are some steps for success in life?

Life doesn’t come with a manual, but there are some helpful rules that one can follow in their life to be set up for success. That’s something that the Tuttle twins have been taught by their parents―and something they teach to their Uncle Brock in their new adventure.

Inspired by the popular 12 Rules for Life written by Jordan Peterson, this story sees the twins organize a boot camp for Brock to help him see the power of these ideas―and how each of the ideas is like an ingredient that, when mixed together, can lead to great results!

It wasn't until I began reading this book aloud with my children one evening that I realized the "12 Rules" were based off Jordan Peterson's 12 rules of life book. I am currently learning so much from his Discovering Personality lecture series, and it is great to learn about his teachings on human thought and life through a kid-friendly format in this book. What a great introduction to "rules to live by" which when followed can lead to a productive and mindful life. This was a fun twist of the twins teaching their uncle these "rules" as he is in a low point in life, and it's done and written in such a way that makes it approachable for children and adults alike - engaging, and even a sense of humor involved. My kids (ages 7, 5) & I love the Tuttle Twins books, and this one may have been my favorite!

I enjoyed this book and the message it brings… I have not read Jordan Petersons book so I don’t know how it compares.

I just wished there was better, more imaginative dialogue between the characters.

Cheesy (but good 😂), this book was interesting to my kids, watching one young man turn his life around with his cousins’ “12 Rules for Life.” Those rules are based on Jordan Petersen’s book by the same name, which I’ve been listening. Love him or hate him, Petersen is brilliant. His various lecture series, studies, and observations can pierce you to the core. Truth, I’m tellin’ ya. This book was a kid version. :)

My favorite character is Brock because he learned 12 valuable life lessons. It surprised me that Brock made poor life choices for someone his size and age. I would not change the ending because I like it just like it already is. I would read it again because if I ever forget the 12 life lessons then I can remember them again and use them for my life.

My kids loved this!! I love that it introduces Jordan B. Peterson’s ideas and book. If you don’t have The Tuttle Twins in your life, you are missing out. 🥰

Probably the least radical of the series, presents Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life in an easy to read story. Entertaining enough even though the story is a bit choppy.

I love that this book was based off of Jordan Peterson’s book. Very bitesize but such a powerful resource to share with children 🤎

This is a really good book and talks about being your best self, and trusting others. It is five out of five

First as tragedy, then as farce; the same libertarian propaganda series that adapted Ayn Rand's monumental paean to sociopathy into a children's story has now done the same with the work of everyone's favorite canadian meat enthuasiast and oft-lachrymose Jung fanboy Jordy P - at this rate I fully expect the next entry in the series to be devoted to RFK Jr: The Tuttle Twins and a Shot in the Dark, perhaps? (and Mr. Author, if you do happen to use that title, send residuals or I'll see you in court; we have fun here and all, but C.R.E.A.M., dontcha know.)
