Series Review--"In clear, accessible language, large print and short chapters, the authors tackle a variety of related subjects...these high interest/low reading level texts should prove valuable in health and physical education classes, for research projects, and for young girls in general who are obsessed with weight issues and for their friends who want to help. " -Carol Lefelt, Educational Reviewer, Highland Park, New Jersey LMC
