This is a fantastic educational guide to many issues that pre-teens and teens face as they are growing up. The graphic novel does not shy away from topics and includes discussions on puberty, due dates, gender identity, masturbation, sex, boundaries and consent, gender roles and so much more. I love that the book is extremely inclusive and diverse. This should be a requirement for all pre-teens and teens (and frankly anyone can learn from it!) as part of their education. Much has changed (and a lot has stayed the same) since I took sex-ed in school and it definitely was not this inclusive and did not touch upon several of the topics in this book. I'm grateful this can be a positive and informative resources for teens today! Thank you to Netgalley and Oni Press for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

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.

This book is so good that it is making me angry, which is a reaction I don't even understand. I love it. As a former teenager, I love it and wish I'd had it then. As a mother of a daughter, I love it and can't wait to give it to my kid when she's old enough to need it. As a midwife who works in sexual and reproductive health, I LOVE IT AND WISH I WAS RICH ENOUGH TO HAND IT OUT LIKE CANDY. Every kid needs this book. Probably a lot of adults, too.

It's fun, it's straightforward, it's honest, it's non-judgmental, and it's kind. It's loving and it's there for you, like an older pal who knows what things are like and cares about you and wants to save you some of the tough lessons they learned - but also wants to make sure you understand the truly important things and don't mess things up.

I would love a follow-up by the same team that gets into the nitty-gritty of STIs, contraception, and abortion. I know Isabella Rotman has her STI comic but I don't know if it's geared towards teens. Of course, that's what Scarleteen is for. But I'm a sucker for physical books, and I dream of having a waiting room packed with books just like this for my patients.

Everyone should buy this and read it.

This is quite informative book for teens...it covers wide variety of topics like puberty, sex, masturbation, coming out, dating, crush etc. and lot more confusing things a normal teen would go through. Very helpful and supportive book for your teen to educate them on lots of topics considered "controversial" by society.

This is a great comic book for teens, parents and teachers. It explains in a straightforward way many different aspects related to sex education such as puberty, maturity, gender, crushes & dating, sexual identity, etc.

All this information is presented with great illustrations, sense of humour and in an appealing way to teenagers (you can also find word search puzzles, crosswords, doodles, paper dolls…) without forgetting a glossary and some references to books and websites you can have a look at if you want to learn more about the topic.

Thanks to NetGalley, Omi Press and Limerence Press for a copy of this book to read and review.

A very informative comic for teens which they can relate to and make sure they don't feel like they are alone in all of this. A very fun and clever way of helping your teen feel normal and accepted.

This is a fantastic little graphic novel about sex, puberty, relationships, and growing up in general for teens. It's super diverse and inclusive, with an entire section dedicated to queerness and gender identity as well as loads of casual references throughout the book. I also appreciate that it offers some insight into being aro and/or ace and how not everyone is going to want to have sex, pursue romantic relationships, etc., so kids shouldn't feel "weird" if they aren't interested in those things. I'll definitely be recommending this one to teens!

Thank you so much to the publisher for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

What a cute, funny book! It keeps a light touch without making fun of the subject, making sure to validate the reader's feelings at all times. This is a wonderful title to give children to help them understand our increasingly complicated world.

I really enjoyed this. I only requested it because I have a 12 yo son and I was interested in how they present the different aspects of puberty and sexual orientation. As an educator I want my own children to be open-minded, accepting, and understanding people, but as a parent this is a subject that can be difficult to hold a conversation about. I like the way different gender and sexual orientations are represented in this book and also the way the authors touched upon double standards and sexual consent. I don't know if I am ready to get a copy of this for my 12 yo yet, but I definitely will keep it in mind for when I think he is at the time to need something like this.

This is an excellent book for teens and learning about the changes happening both in themselves and among peers. This book addresses changes in the body, emotions, social interactions, and many other issues that teens experience, have questions about, but may not be certain where to turn for the answers. Now they do. Written as both an informational book and as a graphic novel featuring a group of teenage friends and the occasional older sibling, this book is both informative and highly relatable. The book gives warning when certain topics or images that teens might not be ready for are about to come up, and give the option to skip to a safe page u til they are ready to go back to that topic. I highly recommend for a teen nonfiction library for an up to date book that is informative and engaging about the changes in adolescents.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

this is a great sex-ed book for teens/pre-teens. I'd say it's lgbtqia+ inclusive.... positive in general.. and very informative.

Great sex Ed book for preteens and teenagers, gender inclusive language, lgbtqia+ inclusive as well, different body types and sex positive. A must have for any school/high school, libraries, health centers, lgbtqia associations, etc.

This book is a great educational guide to puberty and sex. I would 100% recommend it! It's inclusive of different body types, genders and sexuality. It tackles big topics like consent and deciding whether or not to have sex in age appropriate ways.

The illustrations were great, especially the characters discussing their thoughts and feelings throughout the different topics. There was a good level of humour; the book felt fun and engaging, not cringey like some sex ed books can be.

It also has a handy guide at the back with further resources for kids as well as parents/educators.

A great and useful book both for parents and for teenagers.
It covers sexuality from different point of views:from puberty to first time sex,from masturbation to stereotypes,to perception of reality vs social media.

I have found the book very informative and I believe it can be a great reference for parents when it comes to explain tricky topics.
I particularly appreciate that the book includes the notion of consent and that it is inclusive of different races and sexualities.
The illustrations,the activities and the games are captivating and flow perfectly with the explanations.

I would definitely recommend it.
