YA
This companion to neuroscientist/actor Bialik's Girling Up covers male anatomy, adolescent development, learning styles, physical attractions, and more. The informal, supportive text addresses readers directly in the second person. Bialik uses specific examples from her own adolescence and her two sons' lives. "That's What He Said..." boxes provide personal growing-up anecdotes from several men. Spot art and simple diagrams are included.

YA
This volume covers changing anatomy, physical and emotional development, common setbacks, and the importance of mindfulness and responsible decision-making on the journey from child to young woman. Scientist/actor Bialik's breezy yet intimate voice addresses readers directly, and she shares both positive and negative personal experiences, underscoring her reassuring message that this wide range of physical changes and emotions is all perfectly normal.
