(4) YA Perspectives on Mental Health series. These two books explain how to identify stress and anger in oneself and others, discuss how these issues affect psychological and physical well-being, and suggest commonsense methods of dealing with them. Highlighted sections describe how teens experience stress and anger, but this information adds little to the choppy texts. The color photos are staged and hammy. Bib., glos., ind.

The repetitive prose is accompanied by statistics and testimonials from teenagers. The accompanying color photographs look posed, and in Overeating show only fit and healthy-looking teens.

(4) YA Perspectives on Healthy Sexuality series. These four books approach the high-interest topic of teenage sexuality from different angles. The information is solid and the author encourages teens to set limits, but few readers will get past the textbookish design and dull writing to absorb the message. Bib., glos., ind.
