My grandson is just turning 13 and I am looking for a light hearted but informative book on the perils of teenager-hood. Not reproduction (he knows!) but sort of useful stuff about teenage girls which he won't know (4 boys in the family) and which might help him understand himself/girls (bodies and emotions)/ask a girl out etc. I have found the odd American book on Amazon, but nothing English. Hard to know what to search for!
Thank you!

Not a book, but get him the DVD "angus, thongs and perfect snogging" (or similar- I may not have the title is exactly right. Alan Davies is in it. Very funny depiction of girlie teen angst.

The Diary Of A Teenage Health Freak is good - written in the form of a teenage boy's diary - and then there's The Diary Of The Other Health Freak - written as a girl's diary, it may help him understand girls more!

Both cover the physical and emotional changes of puberty in a light-hearted and funny and also informative way.

Ah, depends on the boy I think!

DS1 just laughed hollowly and said "no book tells you anything you need to know about girls"

DS1 appears to learn practically, DS2 will learn from DS1

It would be mortifying to get such a book from your grandma. Get him Adrian Mole if you must

Sorry no suggestions for you but just wanted to say that sounds like a lovely idea!
