(4) YA Essential Health: Strong, Beautiful Girls series. Friends, body image, and sexuality are among the topics discussed in this series. Although the books try admirably to be frank about issues plaguing teens, the didactic tone may turn girls off; boxed queries intended to make readers think about their own lives sound like reading comprehension questions. The many photos of a variety of young women are placed on the purple-heavy pages. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Essential Health: Strong, Beautiful Girls titles: Do You Love Me?, Frenemies, Is This Really My Body?, Out of the Dark, and This Is Me.
