It includes a section on how they can make their voice heard so others take notice so rather than just becoming aware of the issue, they understand that they can also take action on a broader scale. By this age, students will also have a feeling for which particular area attracts them the most, so the accompanying Quicklinks also offer a way forward for greater awareness an action. With information in manageable chunks alongside lots of illustrations, this is one for those who are ready to take their journey to the next step. -- Barbara Braxton * Barbara Braxton *
