Boys can have a lot of questions about going through puberty: Why is my voice making such weird sounds? When will I be able to start shaving? Why do I keep getting pimples? What is a wet dream?

In print for almost twenty years and with over 140,000 copies sold, What's Going On Down There? is an essential and reassuring must-read for every boy going through puberty, and every parent wishing to prepare a son for this important milestone. Written with input from two young advisers, this guide offers a supportive and practical approach, providing clear and sensitive information about common issues--from what it is and what it feels like, to what puberty is like for girls, to how to handle the sexual feelings you may be starting to experience. This revised edition will include new chapters on relevant, important topics of today.

Complete with funny black-and-white illustrations, What's Going On Down There? will give you the facts you need to feel confident about this new phase of your life.
