The book is thorough and detailed and discusses risk factors and tactics that teens and their parents can use to help prevent the terrible effects of the diseases . . . There is a lot of practical advice, from motivational exercises to strategies for coping and preventing relapses."

These titles are all thorough, accessible, and readable overviews of the topics. Thc books have a straightforward, friendly style . . . All do an excellent job at discussing the topic and providing historical background, daily realities of living with the disease, current research, and opportunities for getting help . . . While the books deal with challenging, and potentially devastating topics, students will feel supported, inspired, and informed after reading them."
