This is an excellent introductory book on bipolar disorder. If you, like me, don't know anything about the subject it's a great place to start. I think teens will find it pleasent to read, specially because of the real-life examples of other teens. The only problem is the relatively high price for such thin book. The editors should make a cheaper soft cover edition.
Every school library should own this.

Written at the preteen/teen age level this book would be an asset to any school library. I had my 11 year old Bipolar son read the book and it gave him a short, concise overview of his disorder. He has always been asking questions and we have an extensive library at home of books on the subject of mental illness but this was the first one that was at a level where he could understand and not get bogged down in the "psycho babble". We are recommending this book to the school district and his school.
