Horn Book Review

Using information gathered from Gallup polls, Snyder discusses issues surrounding use of alcohol by teenagers and provides charts and graphs to illustrate her points. Chapters include information about peer pressure, drinking and driving, risky sex, and alcohol on college campuses. Although the format is accessible, no topic is given anything but the most cursory coverage. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
