Gr 4-10-It is a sad but true fact that there is a real need forthese books, which will be heavily used both for reports and for personal-crisis resolution, particularly by reluctant readers. In Child Abuse, Havelin defines the causes and characteristics of the problem and offers ways to handle incidents. Family Violence examines the causes of domestic violence and offers readers helpful coping strategies. Both books include color photos of children and teens from diverse ethnic backgrounds and current hot-line numbers. Highlighted case studies present different scenarios, and sidebars present interesting facts and statistics.-Sally Bates Goodroe, Harris County Public Library, Houston, TX
