Going through puberty? Thinking about puberty? Worried about growing up? This book is for you!

Knowledge is power! All the information you need is here, plus advice, wisdom and lots of questions from girls like you:

- Body-basics (like breasts, spots and periods)
- Life's big mysteries. Is how you look important? Is a crush ever wrong? Is it bad to be jealous of your friends?
- Clear, empowering info on emotions, sex, sexuality and gender
- Staying safe and having fun online
- Plenty of space for your own notes and doodles

Puberty isn't just about what's going on in your body, but also your brain, your emotions and the world around you.

Wise, kind, non-judgemental and empathetic. This book should be within every girl’s arm’s reach -- Sali Hughes, columnist, mother and author
Every young teen needs this book -- Nadia Sawalha
Funny, kind and wise. -- Daisy Buchanan
Brilliant, accessible sensitive and funny – get this book for your children, your godchildren, your grandchildren and then everyone else's children! -- Emily Maitlis
This book frees girls from any ill-conceived myths about what they should or shouldn’t be feeling as they go through puberty. It says that you are ok the way you are - a message that could not be more important particularly during this crucial time where our bodies are going through a revolution. -- Brita Schmidt * Women for Women International UK *
