(3) 4-6 Jukes continues to advise girls about health and well-being, here teaming up with a specialist in young people's nutrition and fitness. The authors do their best to jazz up the topic--one of huge import though not always huge interest to girls. A helpful food guidelines chart offers better and more detailed information than the outdated food pyramid.
