KLIATT

Respect recommended in leading magazine that thousands of teachers and librarians across the U.S. and Canada rely on to help them select the latest and best materials.
(07/05)

Free Spirit is known for quality books that inform and teach in really delightful ways. The format of this book is appealing; it is the size of a magazine like Teen Vogue, which will immediately give it visual appeal to readers The maim emphasis of the book, of course, is getting people to treat you with respect, which, naturally, just first come from within yourself. The readers learns how to determine how she wants to be treated and respected, and how to get people to react to her. One of the notable features of this book is that many stereotypes and myths get debunked. The issues of the day are covered: body image, family, friends, school, rumors. There is information about serious concerns such as date rape, sexual harassment, drugs and alcohol, and the authors offer practical ways to deal with them. This books gives the reader verbal weapons to manage these stressful years, and every library should own at least one copy.
