The boy zone

ABOUT THE BOOK

Puberty is a period marked by maturing and growth. The body grows. The world grows. Life grows.

 

The codeword for the teenage years is growth. It's one of the phases of life when things move really fast. The body shoots up, one's social network and emotional life expand, and day by day the world gets bigger and more diversified.

 

The Boy Zone is an expedition through the lively landscapes of puberty - seen from the boys' perspective. In the book you can read all things worth knowing about puberty, the body, love and sex as the book zooms in on anatomical development and the amazing metamorphosis of the body, on emotions, falling in love, boundaries, parents, friends, girlfriends, sexual arousal, fantasies and dreams. It deals with the mental as well as the physical change, discussing subjects such as bullying and the sense of being adequate. And finally the book provides a crash course on how girls work ...

 

Frank and accessible - even as it deals with difficult topics - the book is, above all, a celebration of boyhood and its amazing array of possibilities. The book is intended for boys from the age of 10.
