Gr 5–8—This helpful series explains some challenging issues with which modern teens and kids are often confronted. Students will appreciate the short, easily digestible paragraphs of text and the engaging layout, supplemented by captioned, color photographs and text boxes with features such as "Under Pressure Q&A," which help contextualize the topics and make them relatable. Practical tips are provided for dealing with problematic situations, and there is an emphasis on personal safety and getting help if necessary. A reassuring tone runs through this series, and readers who find themselves in these situations will come away realizing that they aren't alone. Useful and relevant books.
Double-page spreads address causes and possible resolutions for discrete aspects of each titular issue. The talk-to-an-adult refrain is repetitive, but text boxes featuring anonymous teens' (supposed) first-person stories demonstrate the complexity of the issues addressed. Stock photographs enliven the pages. Pagination errors in all but Cyberbullying render the tables of contents and indexes frustrating to use. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Under Pressure titles: How to Handle Discrimination and Prejudice, How to Handle Low Self-Esteem, How to Handle Bullying and Gangs, and How to Handle Cyberbullying.
