This book includes information and advice on improving self-esteem, the key to a positive body image. It comes with photos, case studies, glossary, resource section and index.
This excellent guide.. You could replace four years' subscriptions to teen magazines with this one book and in the process forget the watermelon diets and the fashion fads... A must for worried teenagers and their parents, as well as schools. -- Cork Evening Echo 20040904 Should be in every classroom from 8-year-olds upwards ... I particularly liked the advice for young people to write directly to magazine editors where they feel that stick-thin models are lauded, or that unhealthy foods are promoted ... The opinions of young people themselves are quoted throughout the book, boys as well as girls, and the 10-year-old reader on whom I tested the book said he was most impressed that it was not just a girl's book. -- School Librarian 20040901
