This is a teen book review of Dr. Jennifer Ashton’s The Body Scoop for Girls:   A Straight-Talk Guide to a Healthy, Beautiful You by Stevie.  I would recommend the book The Body Scoop for Girls by Dr. Jennifer Ashton because I think it has many good things you can learn from it. Pretty much any age could learn something new but I would definitely recommend it for teen girls ages 10-18 because around age ten is when our body is changing and we aren’t sure what’s going on and in this book a lot of the changes are being talked about and you can read about what is normal and what’s not so normal. I think even an 18 year old could get a lot out of it.  I’m 17 and I learned plenty of things that I have always wondered about myself.  

Body Scoop for Girls covers the majority of things that teen’s have to deal with like drugs, sex, alcohol, boys, puberty, stress and eating disorders. My favorite chapter from the Body Scoop for Girls was chapter three about periods because I think that’s the one I learned the most from. Especially since I don’t have a mom to ask those kinds of questions to and my dad would have no idea what I was talking about.  

Body Scoop for Girls helped me answer one of my questions I have always wanted answered. I like this book because it was easy read and if you have a problem with something you can just go straight to that chapter. I think it will help a lot of other girls because when you go to high school and middle school you hear so many rumors about things and you never know what you believe. In this book, teen’s get real information and will know not to believe everything they hear.   Peers will tell you anything to get you to smoke, drink, have sex and this book lets you know you’re not alone and that there are a lot of consequences that come from doing those kinds of things.

Its a great book for girls who don’t talk to their mom, who don’t like to talk about this stuff, or who don’t have anyone to talk to. I think girls can be embarrassed about some stuff and sometimes just simply reading about it and knowing you’re not alone make things better.  

I think the author did a good job and giving examples of girls she has talked with and not being like a mom and more of  “here is what is best, you don’t have to do what I say but this is what I think you should do” It’s not a book all about telling, it’s more about advising. It’s not only a book teens can read, but adults can read it too, I’m sure they can learn something from it, plus they can see exactly what teens are going through.   You can get Body Scoop in bookstores, or order it from Amazon today!
