Children’s librarian Chelsey Roos writes: “I found there was a real dearth in my library of middle-grade novels that include puberty stories. While we had plenty of nonfiction books that gave the facts in various levels of detail and chattiness, this wasn’t what my patron wanted. We had a lot of novels about the ‘developing romantic feelings for someone’ aspect of puberty, and several with off-handed mentions of a character who ‘really changed over the summer,’ but very few about how it actually feels to be going through the body changes. Since then, we’ve added a couple of great books, like Kim Harrington’s Revenge of the Red Club, and Karen Schneemann and Lily Williams’s graphic novel Go with the Flow, but the pickings are definitely slim.”
