Easy to read. Informative and in plain language. It helped to open communication between my daughter and me.

girls guide to becoming a teen

I bought this book for my granddaugter, it has alot of good stuff in it, hopegully this will help ease the transition into teenage years.

Mandatory reading for girls

Excellent, well written and not too much information. Just the right amount of thought provoking info to help create adult/pre-teen conversation.

The Feminist

i am buying this book for a young girl i know who is turning eleven. i liked how the book covered not only body and feelings but sex too. if you one star and two star reviewers haven't noticed but the same book for boys by the ama has a higher star rating. and no one who wrote a review about the ama boy book said that talking about sex with boys was wrong, only the people who wrote a review about the girl book said that. how interesting. now, you kinda wonder how girls get raped in the first place? -the angry feminist

Very appropriate for 14 years old

This book, I feel was perfect for my daughter. It is very accurate, not played up to entertain the reader, but to educate the young reader. Very good book. The illustrations were not inappropriate either. There is just enough info to cover almost everything about a young girl and her changes. Love it!
