Description
In line with the energetic conceit that it’s written by nine older girls at a fictional summer camp who share their collective been-there, done-that experiences, Bunk 9’s Guide to Growing Up is a puberty book with a twist, an entertaining, up-to-date, supportive guide that covers the top-to-toe changes that young girls go through as they grow up. Since it’s written within the voices of different girls, reading it’s like taking note of your perfect friend or older sister giving no-nonsense information, advice, and recommendations on menstruation, breasts, hygiene, health and nutrition, boys, and all of the complicated feelings that go in conjunction with these changes. Filled with callouts, doodles, and margin notes, it’s a book that’s gentle enough for a third grader and thorough enough for a middle schooler, and it’s vetted by a pediatrician.
