Review Quotes:
-This work is an impressive piece of sociological research and scholarship. The transition to adolescence is studied with an unusually large sample and a pertinent and careful methodology, which results in definitive tests of a number of important developmental hypotheses... [T]he analysis of significant data in this book provides a wealth of information and constitutes an important contribution to our understanding of the transition to adolescence within the context of the school.-
--Lloyd Lueptow, Journal of Marriage and Family
-Moving into Adolescence is not an easy book to read... The book contains nearly 100 pages of tables, more than most readers will want to grapple with. Yet for the student of adolescence or of our educational system, this is required reading.-
--John A. Clausen, Contemporary Sociology
