This highly informative book would be a great addition for a school library looking to add more non-fiction to their collection. It has some basic information that could be useful for teens and young adults. Although some of the vocabulary does feel a little advanced, the author did a nice job defining the lesser known words for the reader. I think the thing that was done well with this was how they presented ut as though the reader was reading this from their phone screen. I can see students being more engaged because of it, but I do think this is a topic they would have to have an interest in to willingly pick up the book.

Perfect for the classroom. Great formatting to support reading. Good text to teach non fiction text elements. Adding comprehension questions at the back would enhance the usability for teachers with low/no prep reading resources.

As a professional school counselor and occasional educational pub writer who follows children’s nonfiction, I wanted to check out this hi-lo book from Rosen to see if it would be worth using in my school counseling program or to recommend to students/ families. I think this book is a great addition to the Rosen catalog.

With narrative examples and engaging graphics, this book overviews society anxiety and aims to give teens an inside view into what it may be like for a peer with anxiety. This book also teaches, in a chapter format that is still easy to read, the signs and symptoms, other anxiety disorders, and many other things kids may have questions about like a quick summary of why people may take medicine.

I think this book provides good information and I would use it with middle or high school students who are maybe struggling to understand social anxiety in a friend or looking for better ways to explain it.

I also enjoyed the iPhone formatting designs. I think my students would respond well to this format as they are used to reading information on their phones. I’ll definitely be looking into using this at school and appreciate the ARC from Rosen!

Seen as a sample of a set of six books regarding tweenage concerns, ranging from health to AI, this proved a sensible primer to social anxiety. It is a touch bitty, but generally follows a sensible path of saying what it is, what it causes and feels like, how it's treated and how good news is definitely possible. We jump in and out of fact, with four pages of fictionalised testimony of people with the condition, that certainly sound relatable for outsiders and sufferers alike. Copious references to other books and associations add to the helpful matter.

Key here is the simplicity of it all – and that's before the page and a half of glossary. Pretty much everything is in a one-page chapter, that gets a photo page if there's no box-out of extra information relevant. It means everything is tidy, compartmentalised, and there in one easily absorbed spread. That's what makes me say this for tweenage audiences – this is definitely PG stuff, and while it mentions dating and job interviews as being social anxiety triggers, it's clearly going to be of use for twelve year olds, if not younger. Call it Hi/Lo – I'd call this perfectly accessible, and a valuable four stars as a result.
