highly recommended

Good, safe approach to puberty

I am a Christian and somewhat conservative when it comes to what I want my kids to know and when. I was really shocked at some of the info in some other "coming of age" books. This book tells them what they need to know- not all the gory adult details.

Very good

i bought this for my 11 year old and she liked it a lot it gave her tips how to keep her self clean and how when she gets older what shes going to go through. i wouldn't recommend it for younger kids because of some of the images. but overall great book!

Had some doubts but glad I got this book.

After reading the reviews I decided to purchase this book for my 8 yr old daughter. The main reason I even looked at this book was because my daughter doesn't like reading all that much but is required to read a good amount non-fiction books and write a short report about them. Besides bugs, Presidents, sharks, dinosaurs, etc there aren't many captivating subjects for young girls. After receiving the book I was sorry I bought it. I thought it was going to be too much reading for her and I became a little nervous about her reading some of the subject matter. To me she wasn't old enough and I didn't want her to be dealing with this young lady stuff just yet. I didn't offer her the book but left it on the side of the couch with some other books. After a couple of days she found it (okay, so my house is a little messy) and voluntarily began to read it! She was so curious about every topic and, as some other mom's have expressed, would sit with me so that I could help her with words and share it with her. This is the first time she ever showed an interest in reading. She would set aside time each night to do her required reading (and then some) from the book. And I'm so relieved because it hasn't been an uncomfortable experience as I imagined it would be because she is still so innocent. It just "is what it is". So we got our non-fiction reading and our facts of life all in one package. And she seems to now like what reading can do for her. I'm quite pleased!

Great book for young girls/tweens.

This book arrived in a perfect time for my "tween". I highly recommend it for anyone with a young lady in the house that is beginning to move into the next stage of development. Even if you think you have "open communication" this book is a great tool!!! I'm sharing it with other parents I know.
