This thoughtful book presents important health information for teens, in a simple, conversational style.

I recommend this title for all middle and high school students as they negotiate a time of rapid changes.
A good introduction to the art and science of body building aimed specifically for the teenaged male. Since young bodies are not finished forming, the techniques involved are not identical to those of the adult.
