An expanded and revised edition of the popular flip book for preteens. One half of the book is filled with questions commonly asked by girls entering puberty, and the other half with questions asked by boys.

"If you can only afford one book on puberty for this age group, this is the one to have."
--School Library Journal

This flip book for boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 12 has questions asked by girls in one half of the book; flip it over and questions asked by boys are on the other side. Contains honest, informative, and reassuring answers to questions pre-adolescents have about puberty, friends, feelings, sex, pimples, babies, body hair, menstruation, bras, and much more.

Straightforward, age-appropriate answers to REAL questions from preteens are provided by an experienced nurse-and-physician team who have been giving popular seminars to moms and daughters, and dads and sons, in Seattle and Palo Alto for more than twenty years. Each of the questions in the book has been asked--many of them frequently!--by kids during their seminars. Filled with fun, full-color illustrations throughout.

Praise for Will Puberty Last My Whole Life?

"A lively, well-designed manual on puberty and sex, designed for preteens."
--the Seattle Times

"What's cool about this book is it's for boys and girls, so you flip it and you get questions from each. . . . Great advice and an interesting topic."
--Q13 Fox, Seattle

"For more than two decades the UW grad and registered nurse [Julie Metzger] has taught a two-night class on puberty and sexuality that's become a rite of passage for preteen girls and their mothers in Seattle, and along the way she's fielded thousands of queries--some funny, some poignant, and all fascinating glimpses of the hormone-addled minds of kids. This spring she and Dr. Rob Lehman (he teaches the class to boys and their dads) answer nearly 400 of them in their first book, Will Puberty Last My Whole Life? (Spoiler alert: the answer to that one, mercifully, is 'no.')"
--Seattle Met

"The information is presented in a friendly, compassionate manner, and the book is a great way to start a conversation with preteens or tweens. It serves as a model for answering their questions and lets parents know what kids are really thinking. If you can only afford one book on puberty for this age group, this is the one to have."
