Nothing could be plainer than the nose on your face (and the mouth below it), but the mouth and nose have big, important jobs to do. Their work is not as simple as a quick sniff or nibble of pizza makes it seem. Learn how the jaw, mouth, and throat all work together, how the process of eating works, and what happens in the nose when we take a whiff of that apple pie in the oven. This book highlights, in both the text and in the stunning images, the complexities of such seemingly simple sensory organs.

Every family is different, and each household has its own rules. No one much likes having to follow them, but rules are a necessary part of life that everyone needs to learn to deal with. This book teaches readers how to handle rules they don’t like and offers suggestions for how to deal with those with which they disagree. Readers will learn about dealing with rules about household chores, leisure time, rules for when they’re away from home, and handy strategies for getting along with their families.

Modern society has a decided fixation on body type, and despite well-meaning ad campaigns from some brands to attempt to gain worldwide acceptance for every body type, the “thin is in” mindset prevails. Readers will learn about the perils and pitfalls of the drastic, fast-fix diets advertised all over the place. This edifying book gives readers a matter-of-fact look at what a healthy diet looks like and contrasts it with the unhealthy and sometimes dangerous diets that make outrageous claims for quick and easy weight loss. This resource is invaluable for teens looking for healthy eating plans and lifestyles.
