Aimed at a middle school crowd, this book explores some very basic ideas regarding peer pressure. It combines words of wisdom from recent teens as well as a factual expository piece. There are many text boxes and illustrations. The photographs are current – for now. Useful for school research projects on peer pressure and bullying. Could possibly be helpful to a student looking for answers on their own as well. Does mention the positive role of peer influence and the best ways to be your own person.

Ok book. Again, not sure a middle school student would pick up or once they did they would finish. If extremely interested in the topic, maybe. Otherwise basic report writing when necessary.
