With the approachable, nonjudgmental Q&A format, this is a book that a preteen can read on his or her own. It's also likely to open up healthy, positive conversations with parents and caregivers.

“Reassuring and informative...As the most complete book available on this level, it should be invaluable.” - Kirkus Reviews

“Libraries with the original book will want to replace it with this edition. Others should consider adding it as a source of basic information for curious preteens.”-Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato - School Library Journal
