Schools—frequently believed to be safe havens for students—are instead often the sites of violence. From mass school shootings to hazing to fist fights and everything in between, violent acts are tragically far too common on too many school campuses. This volume dispenses essential guidance to those who may be witnesses to or victims of school violence. Readers will learn how to find resources that can help them cope with the lasting emotional consequences of their experiences. They will also learn about conflict resolution and identifying warning signs and how these can help prevent the recurrence of such events.

      Gr 10 Up-Many teens facing difficult issues don't always have the proper resources to deal with them. This series strives to fill the gap by identifying and addressing potentially life-altering issues (stress, violence, depression, and addiction) in a straightforward, nonjudgmental way. Statistics, anecdotes, and pop culture references are used to discuss the roots of these issues. The text also explores teen-friendly solutions-for example, an app that helps maintain sobriety. Despite containing a lot of text, clearly labeled sections within each chapter make this easy to navigate. These titles would be most appropriate for older readers, with mature themes (drugs, alcohol, and violence), but may also be helpful to younger students dealing with these issues. VERDICT This series successfully encourages teens to think critically about complicated issues, while offering resources for support.
