Boys & Sex

Here's a book that tells every girl what they should know about boys, and what boys really want from girls. The author advises girls on how to deal with emerging sexual emotions and how to say no to unwanted sex. She also explains the physical facts of sex and the use of contraceptives, and advises on what to do if pregnancy occurs. Titles in this series are frank guides intended to help teenage girls deal with the many uncertainties and challenges that are a part of growing up. Though the books are small enough to carry around in a pocket or backpack, they're packed with large helpings of good advice presented in a lively, eye-catching format. Teens will be amused by author Joely Carey's humorous approach to her subjects, but they'll also get sound and serious answers to entirely real problems. (Ages 12 and older)
