(3) 4-6 What makes this book about puberty stand out is its inclusiveness. For example, Carnagey refers to changes that typically occur in those whose bodies "produce higher levels of estrogen and progesterone" and those who have "higher testosterone levels." The book defines gender and sex in clear language. Masturbation is also handled with sensitivity, and readers are encouraged to discuss these topics with a “trusted adult.” Additionally, the book covers how to deal with gossip and bullying. Frequent spot art, by Brianna Gilmartin, is included throughout. Back matter contains additional resources, a glossary, and a source list.
