I purchased this book as a recommendation from a friend. My sixth grade son will watch a movie, regarding puberty changes, at school this year. He only asks the minimum number of questions and often gets embarassed when I, his mother, explain things. This provides a resource if he is not comfortable with asking all the questions that are embarassing for him.
My son loved this book

This book, written by Geoff Price, an Australian author, offers a realistic and detailed description of what happens-both physically and emotionally-to boys at puberty. My 9 1/2 year old son was thrilled to read it and found it was everything but tacky and most helpful. The illustrations are not comically unrealistic: they are subtle and to the point, without being overwhelming. This book is very informational and offers lots of tips. The layout is very modern and pleasing to the eye. I would describe this as a great book to initiate your child to puberty and the questions that go with it.
