Packed with practical advice and the latest facts, our books find solutions and strategies to a wide range of problem areas - from issues like teenage pregnancy and diabetes, to the everyday situations like coping with stress and single parenting.

Working together with our authors, who are experts in their fields, we aim to provide straightforward, essential information in the key areas young people, parents, teachers, carers and professionals need to know about.

Accurate and up-to-date information, combined with a chatty and informal style, produces our characteristic, easy-to-read format. Charts, diagrams and comprehensive help lists are included. To ensure our titles contain only the most recent information, all Need2Know books are regularly updated and revised.

Current topics covered by Need2Know include Teenage Pregnancy, Child Obesity, Drugs, Diabetes, The Pill, Special Educational Needs, Dyslexia, ADHD, Healthy Eating, Applying to University, Exams, Single Parenting, Adoption and Fostering, Divorce and Separation, Alcoholism and Working Mothers. To meet demand, the range is constantly expanding.
