Rabbi Marc Gellman and Monsignor Thomas Hartman, the team behind How Do You Spell God?, speak directly to tweens and teens in Bad Stuff in the News: A Guide to Handling the Headlines. Beginning with what happened last September 11, the self-titled ""God Squad"" seeks to put the events in the headlines into perspective, including natural disasters and hate crimes. Sections called ""Stuff to Understand"" and ""Stuff You Can Fix"" offer ideas for young people who wish to take action. (Mar.)
