Being a Girl cover

A funny, frank and fearless guide to being a girl

Being a girl is not all sugar and spice. How can you possibly survive school and even think about talking to your crush when you have spots in places you didn't even know you had, your boobs are too big (or too small) and the friend drama is off the charts? Luckily, bestselling YA author and sixth-form teacher Hayley Long provides a straight-talking guide to puberty - from cattiness to kisses, and everything in between. With witty black-and-white illustrations by Gemma Correll throughout, BEING A GIRL tells you everything you need to know about surviving puberty, in an honest and humorous way.

A book with chapters titles "Hellcats and Hormones" and "A Quick Herstory Lesson" definitely works for me... frank and funny with line drawings throughout. * The Bookseller (Children's Previews) *
This is a book not only designed to inform teenage girls but to make them think and ask questions and it does this brilliantly -- Annie Everall * School Library Association *
