Reviews...Describes the biology of shyness and offers suggestions for easing or overcoming social fears. It makes the distinction between someone who's shy or unsocial versus someone who has a chronic social anxiety disorder (SAD), and then explains why some people react in certain ways in uncomfortable social situations and details how the body's systems respond to that fear. . . .Despite the text's short length, there's enough information to reassure shy tweens or middleschoolers that they are OK just the way they are. But if they're interested in becoming a little more social, this book offers tools and steps to help them successfully accomplish that goal.-- "Booklist" If you're shy, big changes can feel especially hard. That's where the "Shy Guide" books, which have advice tailored specifically to shy kids, can help.-- "New Moon Girls Magazine"
