Synopsis
This friendly book talks to teens in their own language, with emphasis on the subject that is foremost in the minds of just about every adolescent boy and girl: Sex. Separate chapters titled Boy Stuff and Girl Stuff describe body changes that occur during puberty, with frank and open explanations of male and female genitals, how they feel and how they function. Chapters that follow discuss typical teen problems, as well as those entirely new feelings that come with sexual development. Among them are, having a crush on that attractive boy or girl, coping with controlling parents, menstruation, dating and sexual activity, contraception, pregnancy, sexually transmitted infections, homosexual impulses, and generally surviving those difficult yet exciting teen years. Line drawings on most pages.
Publishers Weekly
The paperback Sex, Puberty and All That Stuff: A Guide to Growing Up by Jacqui Bailey helps demystify the changes that occur during the teen years. In a reassuring, assertive tone, Bailey describes the bodily and hormonal aspects of puberty and dispels myths such as the perils of too much masturbation. Also covered are same-sex attraction, managing a good relationship and contraception. Cartoon scenarios, lists and slang add to the book's accessibility and appeal.

March 24, 2009: I found this book to be very informative, I bought it for my thirteen year old who I felt was just ready to learn all of what this book had to offer. I read through the book before giving it to her and I enjoyed the lessons and all that was covered. I think this is a good tool to use to talk with your kids about sex and all that it entails.

June 06, 2008: This is the best book I found after spending hours doing searches on the Internet and in the bookstore. It's up front about all aspects of teen sex, and tells kids the facts about everything, but in a tactful, funny, and very educational and informative way. I'm very impressed and would recommend this book to any parent with a teen or preteen.
