A former teacher, Canadian writer Jane Pavanel confronts difficult topics directly and candidly in The Sex Book: An Alphabet of Smarter Love. Encyclopedic entries and Q&A sections break down such issues as abortion, AIDS and peer pressure in language teens can understand. Funky graphics and a typewriter-like font frame the facts; ""sex symbols"" indicate items of particular interest to men or to women. (Sept.)
