  • Picking out glasses and braces
  • Dealing with body odor and shaving
  • Caring for your skin (and handling pimples!).
  • Creating healthy habits
  • And so much more

  • Filled with letters and testimonials from girls just like you, confidence-boosting advice from experts, and myth-busting sidebars that give you the real scoop, this book is just what you need to naviage the preteen years.

    "What a marvelous book for girls 8-12 years old. This accurate, reassuring, and clearly written guide is one of the best presents that we can give to the young girls in our lives—especially in an era where they read so much misinformation on the Internet." —Judy Norsigian, Executive Director, Our Bodies Ourselves
    "A desperately needed guide for girls ages 8-12, who have long needed an age-appropriate, visually interesting, and emotionally accessible book on growing up. Parents of diverse backgrounds, who have been looking for a book to lean on and learn from, have got their wish. Real girls inhabit these pages and share what readers will want to know—and what they'll need to know." —Pepper Schwartz, PhD, Professor of Sociology at the University of Washington and author of Ten Talks Parents Must Have with Their Children About Sex and Character
