Grade 6-9-Two books that explain their topics, alert readers to potential danger signs, and offer suggestions for getting help. Both have an easy-to-read, open format and include lots of subject headings, personal stories from young people, charts of negative and positive ways of dealing with various situations or emotions, and discussions of relevant facts. Chapter overviews summarize the pertinent information in each section and sources are given for further investigation. These titles could be used in conjunction with Herma Silverstein's Teenage Depression (Watts, 1990; o.p.) and Carl V. Morrison's Can I Help How I Feel? (Atheneum, 1976; o.p.). Two nonthreatening offerings for self-help or reports.
