EASY READ for 12 year old boy on body changes and sex

Hi my step son is coming up to 12 and I would like to give him a EASY READING book to help him with all the stuff that goes on with being a boy so that he does not get the wrong info from school mates and the like.

I would appreciate any books that you can recommend for him as obviously me being a girl I do not know what it is like to be a boy

I must highlight the easy reading book as he has one on one at school
many thanks

    Hi Anniehaha

    I recently got my son and daughter a book each on this subject

    His one is called Living with a Willy (Paperback)
    by Nick Fisher

    and her one is Girls Only! All About Periods and Growing-up Stuff (Paperback)
    by Victoria Parker

    There's a few to choose from if you look on Amazon.

    Good luck!

    I can second Living with a Willy. My son enjoyed that one.

    If you still need more books, he also liked the Usbourne Growing Up book, and the Diary of a Teenage Health Freak.
    Here I go again on my own....
