This conservative book has colourful illustrations, is straightforward and has easy-to-understand explanations, and is non-judgmental and friendly. Each chapter focuses on a different part of the body, more on the physical changes and how to deal with them than the emotional ones. It does cover moods and feelings but not social changes.
There are tips and advice about sunscreen, braces, acne scars and nutrition. It tackles actual issues that young boys face even knowing how to deal with sudden erections.
