Everything You Need to Know about Dealing with Stalking

School Library Journal

Gr 7 Up-This book begins with a high school stalking scenario. After providing a clear definition of the term, Wright offers solid advice on ways to counteract stalking. The tone throughout is personal, making teens feel that the author is speaking directly to them. The book concludes by repeating the opening scenario and listing the steps the victim used to make herself less vulnerable. Carrying the characters from the opening scene into the narrative keeps readers engaged. A list of organizations to contact for help or information is appended. Elaine Landau's Stalking (Watts, 1996) is starker and more graphic. Both books are good choices on a topic that teens should find both interesting and relevant.-Marilyn Fairbanks, Azure IRC, Brockton High School, MA Copyright 2000 Cahners Business Information.|
