Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5 Up-Ups & Downs is a remarkably complete resource written in a clear, down-to-earth style that is accessible to reluctant readers. There are examples of how to differentiate between a "bad day" and chronic depression, and how to get help if necessary. When Your Parents Split Up contains many stories of how teens dealt with their parents' divorces. There is also information about custody law, single parents, and stepfamilies. The quizzes, firsthand accounts, and cartoons in these practical series entries will appeal to teen readers. Both titles include helpful hot lines.

This review is from: When Your Parents Split Up: How to Keep Yourself Together (Plugged In) (Paperback)

Both my 12 year old son and I read this book. It gave us a common vocabulary to talk about what was going on. It made the problems and feelings that he was having seem normal. Lots of other families are going through the same things.
