He's 13, and has grown out of the books we have already. He needs more information!

We talk lots, but I like to have books lying around that they can dip into if they're embarrassed.

This any good?

I think it is fabulous, but my eldest is only 9.

Thanks PD, I'll add it to the ever-filling amazon basket!

I've been looking at www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/1741145635 (think I am going to buy it) and www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0330332481/ref=mp_bxgy_p_dp_y which seems a little old for my 11 year old.

Pacific, I have just ordered this book from amazon as I think it looks great for my 12 yr old ds who is hitting puberty fast.I also had the girls version for dd,15,when she was this age and that too was great.

I second the willy book. It was just right for DS1 who hit puberty early at 11.

Well, Puberty Boy arrived yesterday and I'm very impressed. It's a really nice looking book with glossy pages. The first half roughly is all the physical stuff, and the second half is the mental/emotional stuff - really liked what I read. Made me cry a bit actually! (Am definitely finding my son growing up a bit weirder than his two big sisters.)
