About this title

Synopsis

Written by journalists with expertise in each area, this illustrated series offers guidance and advice on subjects that interest kids most, and presents it with candor, accuracy, and humor.

Reviews

Grade 6-8 -This book is meant to help readers make sense of their often-conflicted relationships with their mothers. It is divided into four sections, labeled "phases." The first two describe fetal development and mother-infant relations and are likely to provoke much eye rolling in any teen who reads them. Phase three offers a discussion of mother/teen conflicts, and phase four contains anecdotes about special situations, such as having same-sex parents or a mother who suffers from depression. The writing is straightforward and breezy, with occasional inclusions of Freudian theory. Although this title is ostensibly addressed to either gender, it is most likely to appeal to girls, and the suggestions for further reading, which include Esther Drill's Deal with It! (Pocket Books, 1999) and Julia Devillers's GirlWise (Three Rivers, 2002), and the suggested Web sites, such as Cosmogirl.com and Gurl.com, emphasize this focus. There is some useful advice here, but teens who are in genuine conflict with their mothers may find it too simplistic. Michael J. Bradley's Yes, Your Parents Are Crazy!: A Teen Survival Handbook (Harbor, 2004) and Doris A. Fuller and Natalie Fuller's Promise You Won't Freak Out (Penguin, 2004) are better choices.-Kathleen E.
