(3) YA Illustrated by Timothy Corbett. Bondy's comprehensive overview aims to define terms relating to sexual assault and abuse and to counter pervasive misconceptions about these issues. The book offers practical strategies for survivors as well as thoughtful support for becoming an effective ally. Numerous boxed case studies (both real and fictional situations) help humanize the concepts but make sustained reading difficult. Corbett's illustrations feature artists' manikins as human stand-ins, which elides issues of gender identity but leaves the artwork impersonal. A list of related websites and resources is appended.

(4) YA Illustrated by Jordyn Bonds. Directed at young women, Bondy's book addresses "Speaking Up" in myriad circumstances (with adults, bullies, friends, crushes) and explores associated issues such as eating disorders, self-esteem, and sexism. Lots of lists and author anecdotes help readers digest main points, but the narrative can occasionally feel patronizing. Photo collages flavor the pages but add little to the message. Helpful resources are included.
