(  ) ewyatt | Oct 18, 2009 |  One of the ten most frequently banned or challenged books of the 21st century, this guide for pre-teens and adolescents presents medically accurate, unbiased information about puberty, sexuality, and sexual health. It does not make value judgments or suggestions about what desires or behaviors are appropriate, and it normalizes the experiences we all have but are afraid to talk about.

I wish I'd read it when I was a teen. funny fact: my husband actually went to summer camp with the author's sons.

It covers everything from relationships to maturation to reproduction and much more. For supervised, guided reading only.
