Gr 8 Up—Using articles reprinted with permission from sources such as the March of Dimes and The National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy, this second edition gives updated information on unplanned pregnancies. While part one features aspects of the phenomenon as a social issue, the rest of the book provides health tips and options for teens who are pregnant. The chapters are accessible and succinct, often only a few pages long. The title helpfully includes several appendixes: "Teen Pregnancy Resources," "Assistance Resources for Low-Income Pregnant Women," and "Education Resources for Teen Parents."—Joanna K.
