This is such an awesome, inclusive book about puberty. It's sparked some great conversations with my 9YO. The graphics are fun, and everything is broken down into easily digestible chunks, so kids can learn what they need to when they need to. Highly recommend.

We know kids don't want to read puberty books...usually. But this one is inclusive and accessible. And sometimes funny!

Great book for teaching kids about their bodies and changes that will happen. Things are explained clearly and in a way that’s easy to understand.

Great primer on puberty. I initially reviewed this book for teen audiences, but realized that it is better suited for middle grade audiences and passed it on to my colleague, who bought it for the children's library.

Puberty is Gross but Also Really Awesome addresses the questions adolescents are thinking but afraid to ask. In a new and engaging way topics are brought forward and adolescents have the opportunity to learn and discuss what is happening to their bodies.

Ah puberty. Such an exciting time in our lives. Am I right?

I have an 11 year old son so we are just about RIGHT THERE, RIGHT NOW. So, when given the opportunity to get a review copy of this new book targeted at kids on the cusp of puberty, I was like "Yes please, I will take all the help that I can get!".

I was VERY impressed with this book. It is very well done and talks at the kids' level but in a very engaging, interesting and informative way. The book is even inclusive of gender fluid and transgender kiddos. There are subjects ranging from boobs, hair growth, the changes in genitals, menstruation, and more. All those things that can be icky and uncomfortable to talk about for some kids and parents. It is important for kids to know the facts about their own bodies and the bodies of those of the opposite sex. Having a sound scientific eduction on these matters is important for both their own understanding of themselves and their health but to help them be a better, nicer citizen to others.

I highly recommend this book!

While my students may be a little young for this book, I would definitely recommend it families with children nearing puberty. The facts were presented in a way that gave all the needed information to make you feel comfortable with what's happening to your body. I especially appreciated that this book addressed assigned and identified gender in a way that helped ALL readers tackle the feelings that puberty may bring to the surface.

Received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a non-fiction title that goes into all angles of puberty. What makes this book really unique is that it's inclusive of all genders, which is really awesome to see in this day and age.

The artwork and doodles all around made it feel less intimidating and less "textbook-y" which will be more friendly to younger readers.

I really like the use of real-life analogies to help familiarize audiences with complex topics. The history tidbits were fascinating and clearly explained. The confidence and mental health chapters were fantastic, many puberty books are solely missing these. A great, honest, introduction to puberty and all its annoying quirks!

This is a great book about puberty. It is very inclusive for trans teens. The presentation is funny and colorful. It didn't feel like a slog even though the material can be tough. I will recommend this at my library.

I enjoyed this book and learned some things that I didn't already know. I also like how it talks about everything and even includes diagrams if the writing is confusing or needs more clarification.

A wealth of information presented in a straightforward but good -humored way. The illustrations are drawings that are graphic and easy to understand. Inclusive on all fronts.
