MASTERMINDS AND WINGMEN Helping Our Boys Cope with Schoolyard Power, Locker-Room Tests, Girlfriends, and the New Rules of Boy World

Kathe Mazur presents a straightforward and down-to-earth narration of a work written for educators, parents, and others who work with teens. Wiseman draws upon a cadre of about 160 boys of various ages and backgrounds to provide insight into "boy world." She also offers guidance on topics such as cell phones and video games that give experienced perspectives to those dealing with boys. Mazur's even, nonjudgmental tone emanates concern for boys and confidence that their parents and others can support them as they deal with the challenges they face today. Her comfortable, warm manner will make listeners feel this book was written especially for them. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2013]
