"This book should be not only in the library of every middle and
high school, but also in the hands of every student and in health
education classes. I cannot praise the substantial (300 pages) book
enough!"
--Science Books & Films Online, a critical review journal by the
American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)
"A comprehensive handbook... answering questions every teenager
would want to know. Includes a panel of teens offering insight,
insuring that this updated version of the classic Teenage Body
Book is just as meaningful to today's teens. Recommended."
--Ann M. Warner, Eastern Washington Book Review Council "The
easily digestible chapters address issues of emotions, healthy
eating, exercise, stress, mind-expanding substances and getting
help when you need it. With helpful illustrations and charts, McCoy
and Wibbelsman present the truth about adolescence and all the
changes it brings, without sugarcoating the message or talking down
to its audience."
