Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 6-10--Falke explains the circumstances under which children may be taken from their parents; presents brief case histories of abuse, neglect, and abandonment; and describes the criteria that foster parents and their homes must meet. Issues such as the development of trust and communication and conflicting loyalties receive attention. The last chapter is a cliched pep talk that detracts from an otherwise excellent presentation. Geraldine Blomquist's Coping As a Foster Child (Rosen, 1992) is less focused, and Kathlyn Gay's Adoption and Foster Care (Enslow, 1990) is mainly concerned with adoption. Nash discusses practical issues of day-to-day life for biracial/biethnic teens, stressing the need for family communication and the support of peer groups and relevant organizations. Although the tone is upbeat and optimistic, her assessment of today's problems is frank. Janet Bode's Different Worlds (Watts, 1989) is about interracial dating; Paul Almonte and Theresa Desmond's Interracial Marriage (Crestwood, 1992) is less comprehensive; and Kathlyn Gay's The Rainbow Effect (Watts, 1987; o.p.) has an interview format. Rue refutes myths and tells readers what to expect and when. She offers common sense advice about easing discomfort and maintaining personal hygiene, good health habits, and a positive self-image. This is a comprehensive treatment; the author's style is clear and direct, and the tone is warm and personal. A less lively, but adequate, title is Alan Nourse's Menstruation (Watts, 1987; o.p.). Black-and-white and full-color photographs appear throughout each title.
