Going vegan herself at age 15, author Claire Askew knows the challenges experienced by teens who are curious about veganism, who aspire to become vegan, as well as those who are current vegans. This complete guide  is full of advise, stories, tips and resources. Topics include animal rights, on how to tell one’s parents, how to deal with friends who are not vegan, how to eat and stay healthy, working around dissection assignments in school, and more.

The book is divided into four sections: Part One covers ‘Dealing with Parents and Other Family’, ‘Friends and Peers’, and ‘Yourself’. Part Two covers ‘Stuff You Should Know’ about ‘Health and Nutrition’, ‘Who’s Who and What’s What’ (resources and cook books), ‘Goodies’ (beauty products, clothes / shoes), and ‘Outreach, School, etc.’ (school related ethical conflicts).  Part Three is titled ‘Food’ and focuses on ‘What Vegans Really Eat’, ‘New Foods’ and ‘The Recipes’. Part Four:  ‘How to Stay Vegan!’ has quotes, songs, and bonuses of being vegan in the ‘Inspire Me, Please’ chapter, and a more detailed reference section in ‘Where Do I Find…”. There is also an index and a buying guide for vegan cookbooks.
