Editorial Reviews

Teen Issues series. This well-meaning but repetitive book explains why teens are especially susceptible to jealousy—of siblings, of peers, of celebrities—and how to cope with the green-eyed monster. Dougherty sticks with nonthreatening scenarios (e.g.. there’s nothing about dealing with a jealous boy- or girlfriend), so her subject doesn’t quite sustain a book of this length. Scattered throughout are grainy, posed black-and-white photos. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind., The Horn Book Guide Spring 2004
