Product Details

Product Description

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-9-Arredia acts as a sympathetic mentor to younger teens in this empowering, feel-good book. She describes her own experiences as a sexually abused child and explains how she overcame feelings of shame, stigma, and self-hatred to become a happy and fulfilled woman. The tone is casual but also thoughtful and deeply caring, and, above all, extremely positive and practical. For example, the author discusses why and when to say "NO," how to like yourself when you don't look anything like the models in Seventeen magazine, how to figure out your strengths and have the discipline to work toward your goals, and how to develop healthy relationships with boys. The sections dealing with sexuality are not explicit. Good solid advice for any young teen and a fine addition to any collection.

Review

Sex, Boys & You: Be Your Own Best Girlfriend teaches the importance of tapping into individual strengths to achieve the life of a young girl's wildest dreams. Joni Arredia helps girls ages 11 to 19 see where the opposite sex should fit into their lives, and how to get him out if they want to. She looks at how to overcome feeling fat or ugly, too stupid or too smart, and how to banish fears of loneliness. She reminds girls of the power of prayer and the importance of their individual spirituality. Joni also offers tips on finding the right look as well as the right attitude, and staying healthy and fit. Sex, Boys and You should be found in every junior high, senior high, and community library. -- The Children's Bookwatch of The Midwest Book Review, September 1998.

This book's not just about the birds and the bees-it's about becoming the person you want to be and not letting sex and other social stuff stand in the way of your dreams. You'll find out how to boost your personal power and make life choices you'll love living with. -- Teen magazine, February 1999.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, Dec 14 2005
By A. Twitchel - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sex, Boys & You: Be Your Own Best Girlfriend (Paperback)
I happened on this book by accident and was thrilled. The title is somewhat deceiving because sex is only a part of it. The main theme of this book is female empowerment, which involves making good decisions and being true to yourself. This book touches on all aspects of any woman's life and I got as much out of it as they will. Hopefully it will inspire my girls to realize the importance of a strong, smart woman and aspire to be her.
