Pretty detailed info, lots of text. Three pages of text about the fact that homosexuality and bisexuality are normal and ok. No mention of gender questioning or trans. Several older references to sites for gay youth (including pflag). Not as attractive a package as other books (lots of text, only b&w illustrations). But pretty good for preparing girls to fit a bra, get their period and choose sanitary products. Based on author's years teaching sex ed in classrooms. Age: info appropriate for any age but likely to be read by middle school and up. ( )

This is an excellent source of information for older tweens and young teens. Madaras has a frank, interesting voice that makes learning the facts of life easier and more comfortable than most books on the subject. ( )
