Book Description: 

GIRLTALK: ALL THE STUFF YOUR SISTER NEVER TOLD YOU is an up-to-date down-to-earth source book for girls. It won the iParenting Award and is now in its fourth edition. The nine chapters are: Body; Friendship; Love; Sex: Family; Money; Education: Smoking, Drinking and Drugs; and Quizzes. GIRLTALK covers it all. I even included entries from my own preteen diaries (back when I was a member of the Itty Bitty Titty Committee -- not that things have changed much) as well as tons of letters from girls....   

I'm proud of my first book. Over 250,000 copies have sold in English, and GIRLTALK is out in Chinese, Russian, Polish, Mandarin, Czech, and other languages. Young readers turn to the chapter on friends or read "Is Your Period A Question Mark?" or "Are You and He A Good Match?" Older girls use the book to write a resume or apply to college or learn how to protect themselves. And I really hope YOU will pick up a copy too. Call your favorite bookstore or order right now by clicking above. And by the way, yes, that's me with my teen daughters on the back cover of the book.
