Gr 4–8—Family doctors Larimore and Wohlever team up to provide Christian, scripture-based answers to common concerns. The 35 questions include "What does it mean to be healthy?," "Why do I look so different from the girls I see on TV?," "What's the big deal about modesty?," and "Sex—part of God's plan? Are you serious?" Additional questions cover tattooing, piercing, and other topics that may be of concern to tweens and teens. Each question is thoughtfully answered, and biblical passages provide spiritual context as the final word. The concluding section contains online additional resources that share the authors' viewpoint and give further support for girls and parents looking for faith-based health guides. Communities and schools who share the authors' perspective may find this volume a fine addition.—Elaine Baran Black, Georgia Public Library Service, Atlanta
