Adolescence can be an exciting time, but let's face it: it's also confusing-when our bodies are doing weird things and our minds are just as difficult to figure out. So what's a girl to do? Relax, Your Body: The Girl's Guide has got you covered-from head to toe-with cool tips on taking care of yourself, loving your body, and feeling great! This fabulous guide for preteen girls talks candidly about:

* Your body: keeping it fit, looking your best, avoiding bad habits, dealing with embarrassing problems, and maintaining a healthy body-image
* Your mind: fighting stress, upping your confidence, practicing good sleep habits, and getting help when you need it
* Food and dieting: eating right, avoiding the dieting trap, and evading eating disorders
* Sports and fitness: how exercise benefits you, finding a sport you love, and why competition (even with boys) is healthy
* And much, much more!

With helpful quizzes, enlightening discussion, and invaluable tips and exercises, Your Body: The Girl's Guide is a must-have for every teen looking to survive and thrive through adolescence!
