Summary:  This nonfiction book deal exclusively with sexual development of young adults.  The book is written with cartoon pictures but terminology that young people can understand.  The book deals with the question of sex, the human body, puberty, families and babies, and staying healthy.  This book has diagrams labeling the anatomy of females and males as well as an index to reference. This book has all the elements that make it great informational literature for young adults.  The information is accurate and current, has no stereotypes, it is given balanced treatment considering the topic, and the qualifications of the author while not a doctor, give a through indication of sources used and consulted.
