How to be a boy

Everything You Wanted to Know About Puberty But Were Afraid to Google

This smart, fun, and open-minded guide for teenage boys answers all the important questions they ask during puberty. The author, a former teacher, honestly, humorously, and shamelessly explains everything about sex, sexual orientation, growing up, girls, bodily changes, feelings, and bullying, as well as practical things like shaving and getting dressed (and undressed). This book will spare many parents the awkward moments of venturing into the treacherous waters of the 'big talk' with their adolescent offspring. In fact, it will do it for them.

James Dawson worked as a Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education teacher and collaborated on a project that focused on the areas of bullying, drugs, alcohol, and sex education. He is now a full-time writer living in London. His debut YA novel, Hollow Pike, was nominated for the prestigious Queen of Teen prize. When he isn't writing scary books for teenagers, he's listening to music and watching Doctor Who and horror films.
