Growing Up Great! by Scott Todnem is an informative and approachable book that is geared specifically towards boys as they approach the adolescent years. As the parent of a nine-year-old boy, we have started to discuss as a family just some of the many impending changes during puberty and beyond.

During this time I have realized that there are not a lot of books that are open and honest and that also present these topics without some kind of bias. I appreciated Todnem's straight forward and non-judgmental approach and loved that he addressed both the physical, emotional and mental changes and hurdles. Knowledge and support are so powerful and this book was accessible for our son and a great conversation starter for our family as a whole.

Thank you to NetGalley and Rockridge Press for an advanced copy of this book.
