Gr 6-9 Delicate, flowery borders and designs grace the pages in these books, yet the personal stories (titled The Fat Girl and Pizza Face in Girl in the Mirror ) are both forthright and candid. Through case studies these volumes cover the gamut of challenges and pressures that whittle girls' self-esteem, such as snubbing by friends, failing to make a sports team, and taking risks with drugs and alcohol. Talk About It sidebars pose critical-thinking questions about the situations described in the texts. Professional advice, support, and suggestions from Dr. Vicki conclude each chapter. Color photos feature a variety of girls, from preteens to high school students, some with physical challenges. The true-to-life situations described in these books will be a sure hook for the intended audience.
