Overview

Schoolyard fights used to be viewed as an inevitable part of growing up, especially for boys. But escalating violence in schools-including many incidents involving weapons-has made conflict resolution among young people a serious issue across the country. All people experience feelings of anger and hostility, but as we mature we learn how to control these feelings and find positive outlets for them. Fighting was written for students when they need to understand and manage aggression-their own, or someone else's-in order to avoid getting into physical fights.

Reviews

Fighting is a strong stand-alone book. Fighting not only focuses on the instigator and defender, but also reminds witnesses of their social responsibility. Just because one does not get into a fight, does not mean that one can ignore the problem. The excellence of this well-done series makes this reviewer anxious to see forthcoming books. --C.J. Bott Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
