From School Library Journal:
Grade 6-8 A book for the suicide victim's friends, classmates, and familynot the potential victim. After dispelling some of the myths surrounding suicide, describing potential victims, and listing eight classic warning signs, the authors present six composite histories, written in dialogue, to describe typical situations that lead to suicide. These stories illustrate when to intervene; when and where to go for help; how to help a suicidal friend after an attempt has been made; and how to cope with the guilt, anger, and grief experienced after a suicide. The book is clearly written and has repeated advice to involve an adult in the ``getting help'' process. More easily read but not as complete as Francine Klagsbrun's Too Young to Die: Youth and Suicide (Houghton, 1976), this book deals with an urgent problem that cannot be ignored. It should be useful to counselors and junior high readers seeking to understand the myths and realities of suicide. Sue Diehl, Robertsville Junior High School, Oak Ridge, Tenn.
