Puberty Boy

Finally, a ‘rite of passage’ manual for puberty boys!

Puberty Boy has become a worldwide bestseller and is now published in eight languages. Written for boys 11-15 (and loved just as much by girls!) Puberty Boy explains the transitions that boys need to go through to become healthy young men in a unique, fun, colourful and commonsense way. It is an essential guide for boys – and parents, carers and teachers find it useful as well! When boys get this book in their hands they disappear with it for a couple of days and reappear much wiser, and usually with a big happy smile on their face.

Puberty Boy cuts to the chase with the down to earth info that puberty boys need  to know about what is, and what will be, happening to their body (and their brain)! The very first book of its type on the market, Puberty Boy is designed to help boys going through puberty feel good about themselves and their masculinity and to help them makethe inner thinkingand behaviour transition from boy to young man. It is absorbing, eye popping and reassuring.

This little instruction book will help transform the confusion and questions that every boy has into self-appreciation, wonder, confidence, understanding and pride in one’s own individuality. Any boy reading Puberty Boy will see their present and future selves in the stories of boys and men and emerge feeling normal, knowing they are on a journey, with others, that many men have taken before them.

Written in cool, boy-friendly, accessible language, the emphasis of the book is to give information through stories, drawing on Geoff Price’s own experience through speaking to men’s groups and his own sons, rather than telling boys what to do. It is full of accurate anatomical information and illustrations, and covers not only body and sexual changes, but new research on brain development at puberty including the associated thinking and behavioural changes every boy undergoes.

'Clear, wise and kind - a major achievement. Treats puberty with a whole person viewpoint'
Steve Biddulph, author of Raising Boys

'At long last, an Australian puberty book just for guys! I cannot tell you how long I have waited for this to come out. It was a gap that nothing seemed to fill; now my quest is over and all is right with the world .... colourful, easy to read, fun, factual .... this book covers everything from body changes, emotions, dating, and protective behaviour. I would recommend this book to every parent and young boy without hesitation.' Andrew Kelly and Rebecca Smith - Family Planning WA.

'Though our son is 14, developmentally he is about 8 or 9 (those immature boys!), so when puberty started in, this book was a lifesaver! It introduced him to puberty in a cool way and helped initiate discussion with mom and dad. Very grateful it was out there. He still reviews it quite a bit as new things crop up' Julie Z....

'offers a realistic and detailed description of what happens-both physically and emotionally-to boys at puberty. My 9 1/2 year old son was thrilled to read it and found it was everything but tacky and most helpful. The illustrations are not comically unrealistic: they are subtle and to the point, without being overwhelming.

This book is very informational and offers lots of tips. The layout is very modern and pleasing to the eye. I would describe this as a great book to initiate your child to puberty and the questions that go with it.' Elza ....

'I have just finished reading Puberty Boy this morning. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a wonderfully down to earth, informative, emotionally inclusive masterpiece. I feel very grateful and cracked open in the heart, it has been a blessing for me to read this. I could feel my inner 15 year old girl, wishing that I could have read all this stuff about boys way back then to demystify the opposite sex. .... I will be referring it to many.' Davini ...
