Growing up is a whole lot easier if you have some idea what to expect. This book describes exactly what will happen to your body in a straightforward, easy-to-understand way, and it explains some of your feelings too – all you need to know for this important time in your life. This is a highly illustrated ebook that can only be read on the Kindle Fire or other tablet.

""Look no further: the What’s Happening to Me? Books are nothing short of brilliant. They aim to help children aged nine and above understand bodily changes and they do this extremely well.Susan Meredith answers the questions young girls want to ask but might feel afraid to. It’s all there: getting measured up for a bra, periods, using towels and tampons, feeling, diet, health and hygiene and there is also a section on what happens to boys.The text is informal, chatty, full of useful facts and packed with considerate advice and support. A book like that wouldn’t work as well without graphics and diagrams, and the illustrations are colourful and engaging as well as informative."" – John Dabell, TES Magazine
