Girls approaching puberty face lots of confusion and have lots of questions. What should they do if their period starts and they aren't prepared? Is there a safe way to pop a zit? Why do some of their friends have breasts and they don't? How do they shop for their first bra? Why do they sometimes feel so cranky -- and scared?This comprehensive, reassuring, and compassionate guide to puberty and the changes that adolescence brings will help answer all the questions a girl might have. Divided into useful sections that cover the how and what of both physical and psychological changes and how to deal with them, this book is essential to any girl's bookshelf.

And it will serve as the perfect stepping stone to Our Bodies, Ourselves.Blackstone, Margaret is the author of 'Girl Stuff: A Survival Guide to Growing Up' with ISBN 9780606194174 and ISBN 0606194177.
