Talking Points
4 Reviews

YA
Talking Points series.
Though a bit too broad, these global surveys look at domestic violence, charities, and slavery and examine their effects on young people. Boxed quotations, personal profiles, and provocative "Talking point" sidebars ("Do you think it is ever right for children to work for a living?") add texture, as do the occasionally staged-looking color and black-and-white photos. Bib., glos., ind.

YA
Talking Points series.
This look at anorexia, bulimia, and compulsive eating discusses oppressive fashion trends, compares eating habits among different cultures, and profiles individuals dealing with body-image issues. Less successful are staged photographs of ostensibly tormented teens, which strain for effect and undercut the non-preachy approach of this ultimately cautionary book. Bib., glos., ind.
