Reach for this book when your daughter starts asking for deodorant, feels self-conscious about her changing body, or seems overwhelmed by the shift from childhood to the pre-teen years. It is a gentle and normalizing guide for the 'tween' transition, focusing on nine-year-old Abby as she navigates physical changes, a best friend moving away, and a new awareness of social issues like homelessness. This story validates the discomfort of being 'in-between' while offering a comforting perspective on growing up. It is an ideal bridge for the middle-grade reader who is ready for more mature themes but still needs the safety of a relatable, age-appropriate protagonist. Parents will appreciate how it models open communication and empathy during a sensitive developmental stage.
