(3) YA Illustrated by Helen Flook. This guide features good advice--on friendships, cliques, teachers, bullies, lockers, clothes, dances, sex, etc.--and large doses of reassurance delivered in breezy, just-cool-enough prose. Chapters on home life, puberty, and "serious stuff" such as sexual harassment seem somewhat outside the book's scope but are nonetheless handled well. Testimonials from real kids are sprinkled throughout, adding to the book's credibility.
