Description
Part of the Reading Well scheme. 35 books selected by young people and health professionals to provide 13 to 18 year olds with high-quality support, information and advice about common mental health issues and related conditions.
Meet Alice - a teenage girl with anorexia nervosa. Alice invites readers to learn about anorexia nervosa and how it makes her see herself differently from how other people see her. She also introduces readers to Beth who has bulimia nervosa, Sam who has selective eating problems, Francesca who has functional dysphagia and Freddie who has food avoidance emotional disorder. They all explain why they find food difficult and how their eating disorders are different.
This illustrated book is an ideal introduction to understanding the complex issues surrounding eating disorders. It shows family, friends and teachers how they can support a young person with an eating disorder and will also be a good place to start when encouraging open conversations about eating disorders at school or at home.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. Having nursed a child back to health from Anorexia Nervosa, I of course had to read this. The author's do a nice job of distinguishing between the most common eating disorders, and I am so happy to see the inclusion of a male. Boys and men have eating disorders too, and they are often overlooked when eating disorders are discussed. This books lays out the ways individuals with ED may think about themselves and their diseases. Thankfully, there are no triggers or ways to "learn how to get an ED" in this book. I think the best audience for this book is families who are new to the disease, and friends of those who are suffering. Anyone wanting an in-depth read should look elsewhere.
