Reflection and Comments

The book throws in a lot of facts and statistics about puberty but these make the book interesting and normalise puberty. It discusses not only the different physical changes but also hormones and how they affect emotions. Gender identity and sexual identity is also explained.  Sexual attraction too, what it is and how you know that you are attracted to someone. The book is positive and gives readers the confidence that growing up is normal however they may feel and that everyone is unique and different.
