Parenting

Teenage girls are treated to a fresh, humorous, no-nonsense approach to understanding the natural changes their bodies are undergoing. The author discusses a wide range of topics, including dealing safely with unwanted hair, applying make-up, concerns about breast development, coping with menstrual periods, preventing body odor, and more.

Titles in this series are frank guides intended to help teenage girls deal with the many uncertainties and challenges that are a part of growing up. Though the books are small enough to carry around in a pocket or backpack, they're packed with large helpings of good advice presented in a lively, eye-catching format. Teens will be amused by author Joely Carey's humorous approach to her subjects, but they'll also get sound and serious answers to entirely real problems.
