This would fit well in both a public and school library, but also in a school psychologist’s office and for anyone concerned about the mental health of teens. In their balanced approach, Toner and Freeland offer information in a supportive, noncondescending way and treat depression like the serious issue it is, all while maintaining an ultimately positive outlook. Though the exercises may seem a bit too much like those of a typical self-help book at times, they fit within the context of the chapter. Because this is written from a cognitive-behavior-therapy standpoint, the activities and journal entries are focused on identifying the reader’s thoughts and behaviors and modifying them. Divided into 11 chapters, the book first covers what depression is (differentiating it from suicide), how to find help, how thoughts and behaviors impact depression, and how to find hope even in the darkest of times. If you have picked up this book, you probably want nothing more than to understand why.
