This book is immensely reassuring to any parent who has experienced at first hand the problems that a young boy already caught up in the maelstrom of adolescence can both experience and cause when anorexia arrives. 

In short useful chapters Jenny looks at a range of topics that includes amongst many others; what triggers anorexia in boys; the effects on the family; treatment and self help/options; other eating disorders affecting boys and the trials and tribulations of returning to normal life.

Any parent or carer concerned about a boy who may be developing or has already developed an eating disorder will find this book useful and supportive even when it is talking about the most difficult problems that affect sufferers and their families.
