Written by children's non-fiction specialist Jacqui Bailey, it tackles the physical, emotional and social sides of growing up in a friendly, non-judgemental voice. From body changes to relationships, sex, contraception and online safety, this paperback guide gives young readers the facts they need, checked by expert consultants, without ever feeling preachy or clinical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Book\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nGrowing up is full of questions, and this guide meets teenagers where they are. Across its 112 pages, the book walks through puberty and physical growth, hormones, periods, spots and the rollercoaster of feelings that come with adolescence. It moves on to relationships, fantasies, kissing and dating, before addressing sex, contraception, pregnancy, giving birth and abortion in clear, factual terms suitable for a teen audience. Crucially, this updated edition also covers cyber safety, sexting and navigating modern digital communication - topics that weren't part of the conversation a generation ago but are essential for today's teens. Every chapter is presented with friendly illustrations, real-world scenarios and straightforward explanations that avoid jargon. The book closes with a directory of useful organisations and further reading, so teens (and the adults supporting them) know exactly where to turn for extra help or more detailed information. Its inclusive approach means it doesn't assume a single type of family, relationship or experience, making it a genuinely useful resource across a wide range of homes, classrooms and youth settings. Whether read cover to cover or dipped into chapter by chapter as questions arise, it's designed to be a trusted first port of call rather than a one-off lecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpert-consultant checked for accuracy and sensitivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers puberty, relationships, sex, contraception, pregnancy and abortion in age-appropriate language\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes up-to-date guidance on cyber safety, sexting and dating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInclusive, non-judgemental tone suited to a wide range of readers and families\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandy directory of further support organisations and reading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for home, classroom or library use as a PSHE resource\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJacqui Bailey has spent much of her career working with children's non-fiction, having worked as both an editor and publisher across everything from picture books to encyclopedias. She particularly enjoys uncovering surprising facts and turning them into engaging books for young readers, with a special interest in writing about science and how the real world often turns out stranger than fiction. Her clear, approachable style has made her a trusted voice in children's and teen non-fiction publishing for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy You'll Love This Guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nStraightforward, reassuring and genuinely useful, this guide gives teens (and the adults around them) the confidence to talk openly about growing up, without awkwardness or judgement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease Note: Cover image shown is the UK edition; ISBN and edition details are as listed above.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jacqui Bailey","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43013024514285,"sku":"SNG11981","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/4549\/8093\/files\/sex-puberty-and-all-that-stuff-jacqui-bailey-paperback.jpg?v=1784318147","url":"https:\/\/www.letsbuybooks.com\/products\/sex-puberty-and-all-that-stuff-jacqui-bailey-young-adult-paperback","provider":"Lets Buy Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
