"...the text's comradely, nonjudgmental approach to a wide range of information makes this a reassuring and useful factual alternative for kids still poring over 'Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret' for the technical information." - Deborah Stevenson July/August 1996New York Times Book Review
"Packed with information in an easy-to-read magazine-style format, it strikes the right balance between basic concerns, like how to buy a bra and cope with the unexpected onset of a period away from home, and issues such as setting healthy boundaries, trusting your feelings and being able to ask adults for help....delivers the facts but never talks down, preachers or uses scare tactics." - Frances Wells Burck 08/25/1996 |
