My 11yo daughter and I love this book. It's a lovely compliment to the more rote, fact-filled texts about puberty. The author includes stories from her own adolescence, plus beautiful illustrations. I like how it normalizes the physical and emotional changes happening.

My daughter lives this book. She's 11. A great addition to her health classes in school. Well written and appeals to preteen/early teen. She spent a fair bit of time reading and discussing it with her big sister who is 17. They both had fun with it and it has valuable information

i loved Marawa's writing style, she seems like the friend we all wanted growing up (and still do!), honest, frank and funny. She manages to say all those embarrassing things without them being in the slightest bit embarrassing. it's all said from her point of view, of how all those things we hate about ourselves and thing we are going through actually happen to us all, and it going to be fine.

The illustration throughout are cool and charming, the artist, Sinem, has managed to make what we think of as ugly, beautiful and not shocking. They are also very funny, who knew goggly eyes could be spots!

This really is the complete package and every girl needs this guide (even us over thirties, forties and fifties!). I wish I had somebody to tell me all this when I was growing up. I tell my daughter everything I can but this is the best kind of back-up. You will keep wanting to dip in.

I hope they will do one for boys.
