First, some of the items covered in the book are not really related to sex, but development and social items. Second, the voice in which it's written is, for lack of a better term.. baby-ish. I bought this with S.E.X and found that book to be FAR more useful. My kids actually laughed at this book, however they are mid-teens and we'd already had all the discussions covered by this publication. This is geared toward a younger set I think, so if you are going to give it to your child I'd say 12-13 is the target range, maybe 11 for more mature kids. I would not have bought this had I reviewed it in a store first..

I bought this book for my daughter who is turning 13. She is not an avid reader (to say the least). She actually loved this book and read 75 pages in one shot.

I read parts of this book and was thrilled. I immediately bought three copies for my teen-agers and will recommend it to other parents and teens. The questions are classics, and answers written in straight-forward, direct ways. They're written from one adult to another. I'm so pleased that this book was written and only wish I'd had it as a teen.
