The graphic novel aspect and the wide diversity of the characters really made this book a wonderful resource for discussing puberty, relationships, consent, orientation and sex vs. messing around. The various characters brought many different opinions to the “conversation.” I was reading this book with my son and I still learned about 3 new sexual orientations I had never heard of before. The workbook portions of the book would be handy if we didn’t have a library copy. We’ll be getting this again to review in a couple of years.

A good, succinct, and accessible guide to a range of basics with good advice on where to go for more info, too.

Very short overview of puberty and relationships for young teens. Compassionate and informative without being preachy.

This is an all encompassing take on puberty and sexuality for youth growing up today. There are five teens represented in this book, who runs the gamut on gender, sexuality and maturity. This makes for insightful comments on thoughts about gender fluidity, and on sexual desire.
They point out that we all mature at our own level and time.
And the sex is a mutual activity, and if it isn't mutual, it is not sex, but assault.
Well researched, and well represented. This will make a good reference book, one that is easy to read, and get answering to questions about growing up.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

In a time and age where children and tweens are loving graphic novels, incorporating graphic novels about important topics - such as their development - is an amazing way to ensure kids are learning what they need to about themselves and their bodies.
This graphic novel is detailed, well-illustrated, and incredibly important for tweens.

This was a neat book. I would’ve wanted to read it as a teen. However, maybe have the parents read it first, to see how they feel. The spread with different genitals was something I found very useful, but it’ll probably shock some people.

Very cute. The informal style makes subjects more approachable. Didn't skimp on important (frequently skipped) bits like consent, gender identity, orientation, pleasure, and emotions. While it was informal in style, the information itself was very straightforward and included various views on topics that can have a spectrum of experiences.
