(4) YA Guy's Guide series. The boy-edition of this updated series examines emotions and offers advice on coping. Chapters look at situations where these emotions crop up, the physical and emotional effects of feelings, how the moods manifest, and when they might be dangerous. Text boxes, quotes, and quizzes help break up the information. The page design is drab, and production quality is poor. Includes hotlines for further information. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these Guy's Guide titles: A Stressed-Out Guy's Guide, A Hassled Guy's Guide, An Unloved Guy's Guide, A Lonely Guy's Guide, and An Angry Guy's Guide.

(4) YA Flip-It-Over Guides to Teen Emotions series. Using a gimmicky flip-the-book format (one half specific to girls, the other to boys), these books explore common issues faced by teens. The authors provide helpful tips and strategies for young adults, but they're too often couched in language or invented situations, illustrated with awkwardly staged photos, that teens won't buy. Quizzes, sidebars, and quotations add interest. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Flip-It-Over Guides to Teen Emotions titles: A Guys' Guide to Stress / A Girls' Guide to Stress, A Guys' Guide to Conflict / A Girls' Guide to Conflict, A Guys' Guide to Love / A Girls' Guide to Love, A Guys' Guide to Loneliness / A Girls' Guide to Loneliness, A Guys' Guide to Jealousy / A Girls' Guide to Jealousy, and A Guys' Guide to Anger / A Girls' Guide to Anger.
