A excellent book dealing with the pertinent issues of peer pressure; while the topics are not covered factually or supported by research, the teen stories are easy to read and will be personal to a reader. The stories are real struggles with one’s morals, values and integrity in relation to being “true to oneself” and responding to one’s desire to be part of the crowd. Recommended for discussion and assignments that require a personal response and also for use in certain situations with guidance counselors.
