New softcover book, 195 pages. 4th and most up-to-date edition, published 2007.

 This new edition of The Puberty Book provides up-to-date information on all aspects of puberty and also includes a new chapter on mental health. Although some aspects of a young person’s mental health are mentioned throughout the book, the new chapter discusses these issues in more detail. This chapter addresses issues that may concern young people as they are growing up and experiencing puberty. With all the latest information, this fourth edition answers all of those direct (pre) teenage questions:

• What’s a wet dream?
• How do you ask a girl on a date?
• How are sperm made?
• After sex do you get sick?
• When should you start shaving your legs?

This book is based on thousands of questions children and teenagers ask every year. With simple language and honest answers, the authors discuss the changes that happen at puberty - sex and sexuality, health, relationships, pregnancy and birth.
