It is a truly inspiring and educating book to read which discusses about the peer pressures that a Person at its preteen has to go through ,it may be the vagaries in his life when he loses his loved one or How his young mind copes up, when his peers bullies him .
How a Child should take the changes in his/her body. Also it talks about the perception a young mind has when he sees something new.
Trust me I could relate few stories while reading. Dealing with your younger brother and sister. * laugh*
A must read for all before they enter their Teen-hood.

December 27, 2011If you give this book to your preteen or "tween" as I believe we call them these days, they are most likely to get pregnant by the time they are a junior in high school and that would just suck. Do the world favor, just say no.
