A review of literature related to young adolescents is presented as a broad narrative summary that is accessible and useful for both teachers and administrators. Under a grant from the Ontario Ministry of Education in Canada, two of the three authors reviewed international research<-->from the US, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand<-->on schooling in grades 7-9, paying particular attention to innovative programs and services for that age group. Their report, "Rights of Passage", was published in 1990, and is here substantially expanded for a wider audience. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
