I remember reading this in my fourth grade class. I couldn't take it home, and only had bits of reading time during the day to go and get it from the shelf. I have no idea how I did it, but I managed to read and complete so many books that year! This was one I still remember. I was sort of embarrassed to read it (I was always self-conscious, especially since I enjoyed reading during class and everyone else loathed it). I basically learned about puberty from this book, haha. Looking back, I'm glad I read it and I think it's a book every young girl should give a try.
