Date Rape - School Library Journal

Gr 7–10—The Rodgers tackle a sensitive subject in a manner that’s easy for young people to comprehend. They cover topics ranging from overt racism to homophobia to the treatment of people with mental and physical disabilities. They discuss the history of hate and include personal accounts from those who’ve dealt with being stereotyped. The book is well laid out and easy to read, with bolded terms defined in a glossary, a list of resources for those affected by racism or prejudice, a “Coping Toolbox,” and a “Hot Topics” question-and-answer section.
