Reviews
Grade 8-10-Slim series titles that address skills teens need to develop to lead successful lives. Both books present a concept, provide definitions, and pose some questions. Short tests on such topics as "Am I a Critical Thinker?" and "How Ethical Am I?" are also included. Creative Problem Solving addresses making informed decisions about health products and services. In one example, a couple tries to decide on the best method of birth control using a chart to compare costs, effectiveness rates, etc. In the second book, ethical dilemmas, professional ethics, ethical courage, and decision making are considered. In both titles, full-color photos, colorfully framed tests, and sidebars shaded in purple aid in creating attractive layouts. However, the author has an annoying tendency to jump back and forth from a third- to second-person narration. While the books seem intended for older teens, the textbook format, preachy style, and simplistic language will not appeal to them, and some of the vignettes seem totally unrealistic.
