Reviews

Gr 4–7—Some of them have periods, some shave their legs, and others wonder when they'll confront these rites of passage. Faced with the monumental changes that one goes through in puberty, where can a girl turn for answers? Told in a scrapbook style, "curated" by the denizens of one camp cabin, this title is a fantastic addition to the realm of puberty books. Beautifully illustrated by Hunt, the book is full of information presented in a chatty, amiable fashion that will break down the walls put up by even the shyest of tweens. While some of the illustrations could be considered graphic by some, this book deserves a place on the shelf in every library and classroom where young women gather. VERDICT A companion to such classics as Valorie Schaefer's The Care and Keeping of You: The Body Book for Younger Girls, Nuchi's deep dive into puberty will be devoured by tweens.—Erinn Black Salge, Morristown-Beard School, NJ
