Gr 4–8—Vermond discusses both the physical and emotional changes that boys and girls experience. The text covers such topics as menstruation, cliques, bullying, self-esteem, sexuality, and relationships. A good "Bibliography and sources" section is also included. The author is refreshingly honest-"sometimes puberty stinks"-and reassuring about the anxiety that arises at this time of life.—Elaine Baran Black, Georgia Public Library Service, Atlanta
