Each chapter is subdivided into useful categories. For example, 'Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll on a Diet' has sub-headings covering the need to take risks, risks for parents, stealing, smoking, drinking and drug taking, the obsession with computers, eating disorders, and under-age sex and promiscuity.
Case histories and quotes keep the information interesting, although as these are in the margins the layout is unsettling. I found myself reading the advice first and then having to look in the margin for the case history it relates to.
But it is a valuable reference book which would be useful for playworkers and others working with tween-aged children.
