Being a Girl by Hayley Long

Being a Girl by Hayley Long

A funny, frank and fearless guide to being a girl Being a girl is not all sugar and spice. How can you possibly survive school and even think about talking to your crush when you have spots in places you didn't even know you had, your boobs are too big (or too small) and the friend drama is off the charts? Luckily, bestselling YA author and sixth-form teacher Hayley Long provides a straight-talking guide to puberty - from cattiness to kisses, and everything in between. With witty black-and-white illustrations by Gemma Correll throughout, BEING A GIRL tells you everything you need to know about surviving puberty, in an honest and humorous way.

A book with chapters titles "Hellcats and Hormones" and "A Quick Herstory Lesson" definitely works for me.. frank and funny with line drawings throughout. * The Bookseller (Children's Previews) *
This is a book not only designed to inform teenage girls but to make them think and ask questions and it does this brilliantly -- Annie Everall * School Library Association *

Hayley Long began writing teen fiction while working as an English teacher in Cardiff. Her first teen novel, LOTTIE BIGGS IS NOT MAD, was awarded the White Raven label for outstanding children's literature by the International Youth Library. Since then, her fingers haven't stopped typing. Hayley has been a winner of the Essex Book Award, and WHAT'S UP WITH JODY BARTON? was shortlisted for a Costa Book Award. Hayley has also enjoyed the razzle-dazzle of being a Queen of Teen nominee. BEING A GIRL is Hayley's first non-fiction title, and she's also working on her next novel.
