Editorial Reviews

Gr 9 Up-The best feature of this volume is the full-color, cover photograph of schoolgirls in their red blazers and hats (their countries sadly unidentified). The chapters inside, contributed by different authors, describe teen life in 15 countries deemed most representative of the area and interesting to young people. Coverage extends from India to Japan; there are no entries for Burma, Laos, or Malaysia. In formulaic fashion, each chapter has an introduction, followed by material on a teen's typical day, family life, foods, schooling, social life, recreation, entertainment, and religious and cultural practices. The writing is uneven-at best, merely dull, but often repetitive, confusing, and irrelevant. Indonesia is cited as a tourist destination, particularly for young Australians, with no mention of the terrorist attack in Bali on October 12, 2002, and its subsequent impact on the tourist trade, especially from Australia. It is incorrect to speak of God (capitalized) in reference to Japan's animistic Shinto religion, and the Vietnam introduction confuses French Indochina and Indonesia. The resource lists after each chapter feature mainly adult works. The dense format is relieved only by a single black-and-white photograph in each chapter. There are no maps. Few teens will want to plod through the tedious text.-Diane S. Marton, Arlington County Library, VA Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
