Overview
This two-book Usborne collection brings together Growing Up for Girls and Growing Up for Boys, two frank, friendly and reassuring guides to puberty and the teenage years. Written by trusted Usborne authors and packed with clear explanations, they help pre-teens and early teens understand the physical, emotional and social changes ahead. Covering everything from moods and body changes to friendships, self-confidence and staying safe online, this pair is ideal for confident independent reading or shared conversations at home and in the classroom. A supportive, non-judgemental starting point for growing up happy and informed.

About the Books
Growing Up for Girls by Felicity Brooks prepares girls for what to expect from puberty and offers advice on coping with the emotional, psychological and physical changes ahead, so they can stay happy and confident through their early teens. It covers all the topics girls want to explore, including moods and feelings, periods and how to survive them, what happens to boys, diet, eating disorders, exercise, body image, sex and relationships, contraception, sexual health, self-confidence, drink and drugs, exam stress, cyberbullying, and staying safe both out and about and online. Growing Up for Boys by Alex Frith takes the same warm, straight-talking approach for boys, preparing them for the physical, psychological and emotional changes of adolescence. It tackles moods and feelings, what happens to girls, diet, exercise, body image, sex and relationships, contraception, sexual health, self-confidence, drink and drugs, exam stress, cyberbullying and personal safety. Both titles use age-appropriate language, discreet illustrations and real-life scenarios to make potentially tricky subjects feel manageable and normal. Each guides young teenagers through this exciting yet sometimes daunting stage as they begin taking responsibility for many aspects of their own lives for the first time. Presenting puberty as a healthy, natural journey rather than a problem, the books encourage open questions and honest conversations with trusted adults, making them a reliable resource for families and schools alike.
