Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 6^-10. When you consider all the pressures on adolescents and their families--parents' expectations, peer influences, raging hormones, limited funds, tight spaces, academic competition--it's a wonder that any brothers and sisters get along. Sneddon tries to consider every combination of sibling relationships (much older/much younger children, stepfamilies, twins, etc.), as well as the damaging effects of drugs, alcohol, abuse, incest, divorce, and death. The results aren't very well organized, but kids will be able to spot their families amidst the anecdotes, and at least be reassured that they're not alone in their squabbles. Helpful suggestions on negotiating with siblings and sharing special moments. in the final chapter, and the list of support groups at the end of the book offer readers concrete ways to improve their relationships. Chapter notes; bibliography. Candace Smith
From Kirkus Reviews
An intriguing entry in the Teen Issues series focuses on the interaction between brothers and sisters: ``The sibling relationship has much to do with how we feel about ourselves, as well as how we relate to others throughout our lives.'' It's a relationship (fraught with conflict and rivalry) that usually lasts longer than all others--including the spousal relationship. Sneddon discusses what goes into forging the sibling bond, as well as what tears it apart, and encourages readers to ``consider ways to help improve your own sibling relationship so that you and your brother or sister can be there for each other in years ahead.'' A series of hypothetical situations between siblings are presented with multiple choice options and strategies for resolving the conflicts. All in all, this is a helpful guide, which takes textbook information and links it to readers' lives. (notes, further reading, index) (Nonfiction. 11+) -- Copyright ©1997, Kirkus Associates, LP.
