Description:

Warm, friendly and refreshingly down-to-earth, this bestselling guide answers all the questions a girl might have about her period and the changes of growing up — the kind she might feel too shy to ask out loud. Written by Karen Gravelle with her teenage niece Jennifer (so it really does speak girl-to-girl), it covers the visible and invisible changes of puberty, what a period actually is and feels like, choosing pads or tampons, and everyday worries like pimples, mood swings, cramps and "is this normal?" It even tackles changing friendships and how to talk to parents. With reassuring, funny cartoon illustrations throughout, it's a calm, confidence-building companion for this big milestone.
