(4) YA Need to Know Library series. Hypothetical vignettes introduce definitions, descriptions, treatments, and coping strategies for people who have the disorders and diseases and for those interacting with them. Looking and Feeling advocates emotional and physical health. Shorter vignettes incorporated in the text supply examples and interest. Color and black-and-white photographs add visual interest but little else. Bib., glos., ind.

(4) YA Careers series. These books differ in format, but all contain background on an area of professional interest as well as specialties within that field (i.e., Journalism touches on writing for magazines, television, radio, and the Internet). Educational requirements and finding a job are also covered. Poor organization hampers these otherwise useful basic career introductions. All except Journalism contain glossaries. Bib., ind.

(4) YA Teen Issues series. This introduction to money management explores the link between values and spending. Excluding a confusing delineation of spenders' four "temperament" types, the book is consistently instructive, covering topics such as how to earmark earnings (savings vs. necessities vs. "free money") and how to resist splurging. Included are teen and adult testimonials, worksheets, and black-and-white photos of--what else?--money. Bib., glos., ind.
