Product Description
Product Description
Girls are growing up faster and earlier. Young teenagers now live in a world of amazing opportunities but also some harsh realities. They are making tough choices and decisions, from sex and relationships to drugs and alcohol, to education and peer pressure. Girls look at themselves in the mirror every day and worry about their breasts, how pretty they are, what kind of person they are inside. And every day they move a step closer to becoming a woman - a journey that is exciting, but which can also be uncertain and lonely at times. The aim of Sisters Unlimited is to guide girls through many life issues, taking in family, body image, sexuality and school. Jessica Howie is the big sister with the straightforward answers. There are no taboos and Jessica's approach is refreshingly open and honest. She also draws on the words and experiences of other 'big sisters', including Davina McCall, Dido and Anita Roddick. This is an empowering book - providing support without judgment for girls as they journey through their own modern rites of passage.

Format:Paperback
Every single informative chapter of this teenage bible is comprehensive and painfully honest. I emphasise the word painful because it is an appropriate term to associate with adolescence.
The controversy surrounding this book seems a bit ill informed, all of the topics covered are highly relevant and NOTHING in this book would come as a shock to your average teenager. Parents would do themselves a few favours reading this if they hold out any hope of relating to their teenage offspring.
The writing is very personal and this evident in every sentence. Thanks to Jessica Howie for providing a piece that doesn't patronize and isn't afraid to address bluntly issues teenagers discuss in school canteens and Justin Timberlake clad bedrooms everywhere.
Believe the hype, this book tells it how it is and it makes a nice change not to be written by a middle aged woman with a variety of questionable qualifications, none of which make them an expert on young people.
