If you can only afford one book on puberty for this age group, this is the one to have.--School Library Journal, Starred Review
The dos-a-dos format (girls' queries on one side, boys' on the
other) has the advantage of allowing readers to concentrate on
their own issues but also to explore the ways others think.--Kirkus
Reviews, starred For more than two decades the UW grad and
registered nurse [Julie Metzger] has taught a two-night class on
puberty and sexuality that's become a rite of passage for preteen
girls and their mothers in Seattle, and along the way she's fielded
thousands of queries--some funny, some poignant, and all
fascinating glimpses of the hormone-addled minds of kids. This
spring she and Dr. Rob Lehman (he teaches the class to boys and
their dads) answer nearly 400 of them in their first book, Will
Puberty Last My Whole Life? (Spoiler alert: The answer to that
one, mercifully, is no.)
Seattle Metropolitan ...pick up the book Will Puberty Last My
Whole Life? by Julie Metzger, RN, MN, and Robert Lehman, MD.
They've collaborated to answer the questions most children have
about what is going to happen to their bodies... If your child has
a question, the answer is most likely in this book... Growing up,
puberty can feel like the most confusing and embarrassing thing
ever. Probably the best asset of this book is the
explanation about normalcy. There is a constant emphasis that no
matter how awkward and embarrassed they feel, what they are going
through is a totally normal part of life.
Cafe Mom A lively, well-designed manual on puberty and sex,
designed for preteens.
The Seattle Times
What's cool about this book is it's for boys and girls, so you flip
it and you get questions from each...Great advice and an
interesting topic.
