This book is relateble and funny. It was written in a correct tone withj a lot of detail. Overall a good book.

Very good book about growing up. This is the first Lauren Myracle book I've read and I hope to read more. Winnie is a very lovable character and her friends and very easy to like. I recommend this to anyone who is scared to get older and what happens to the body. This was a very well written book. I hope to read the rest of the Winnie Perry serie books. Rating: 7/10Parental Rating: 12+ (Mind that it does talk about what is going on during puberty to a girls body and in some spots; a boys)

In the book twelve it was about a girl Winnie, starting the seventh grade and her birthday is coming up and she wants it to be the best one ever. She goes through lots of changes with school, boys and much more.I am giving this book 2 stars because it was a pretty short book and it wasn't my style. i would not recommend this book to anyone.l

This was a good book about a girl named winnie who just turned twelve. When a girl named Gail comes to her school she starts to lose her best friend Amanda. So winnie goes on and makes a new friend named Dina. Winnie also struggles with changes she is going through.

I think Lauren Myracle has stolen my diary. In this book, Winnie must brave the embarrassing world of becoming a woman. Ugh. The humor and spot on emotions of this book resonated with me, but more importantly, made my daughter comfortable enough to talk with me about the enormous subject matter of growing up as a girl. We both agree it kind of stinks. In all sincerity, thank you Ms. Myracle for making an icky subject something my daughter and I can share a laugh about. Knowing girls like Winnie

Book two: Winnie Perry just turned twelve! Now that that she is one step closer to being a teenager big changes are in the future.

When Lars and Winnie start dating everything changes,her life,her clothes,and personnal style.Instead of wearing baggy Mcdonalds t-shirts, she is wearing tight fitted normal 7th grade girl clothes.The worst change of all is that she develops, meaning bra sho...

Along the lines of "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret," by Judy Blume, "Twelve" is for today's pre-teens/tweens. Some words and phrases that may be objectionable to a certain segment of our patrons: hard-on, v-word, vagina, boobs, boobful, boobed, "with boob," etc.I thought it was a fun read, using real kid language in the dialog and capturing that whole adolescent angst-y feeling fabulously.

Title(s): Eleven, Twelve and ThirteenRating: A+Review: I decided to review all of these books together because, well, I read them all together. I read the first one on a whim, a decision to develop myself "professionally" (because I dream that, when I'm finished with my MLS program, that I'll be a kick-butt YA and children's services librarian in a public library who will help reluctant readers find the book that will help them turn the corner and develop a lifelong love of reading). I read plen...

I bought this for my niece, who's almost 13, but thought I should read it before I gave it to her to make sure that there's nothing she shouldn't read. So far it's just normal 12 year old drama, like buying your first bra. :-)***** There was one page that was questionable so I called my SIL and talked to her. Other than that, it was a really cute book about the trials and tribulations of being a girl who's hitting puberty. If I was 12 I'd have liked it a lot more, but even at 29 it was cute and

I can see this one disturbing some patrons. Adolescence is messy. It has the most graphic description of tampon application I have ever read (and boy I could have really used reading it in 7th grade when one of my friends had a birthday party at Wild Waves. Why me! I still feel the embarrassment.) Overall, 'Twelve' read pretty pitch-perfect to me- the reluctance to admit that maybe your mom is right and you do need a bra, the borderline paranoia that people might notice you in a swimsuit, the sh...

reads very much like a modern day judy blume novel - and the author cites JB as an influence.not my favorite genre - but I can see this as serving a useful purpose for some girls. in a perfect world parents lovingly and perfectly instruct and guide their children through coming-of-age milestones, but sometimes it can be nice (as a kid) to read about these experiences, written with a touch of humor, privately as well. it could effectively be used as a tool for discussion with your child (if all p...

This book was a very good one to read. First off, I would like to give my recommendations to this book. I would highly recommend this book to young adult women, and even though the front cover looks like for little kids, don't judge a book by its cover! I think the strength in this book is the drama the author put in. Lauren Myracle made me had a feeling of excitement of what is going to happen next. In the story, I could relate to the character Winnie. I was surprised at how her personalities w...

Funny, and very true! Love it!

I’ll be honest, it has been a long time since I read this book, so I don’t know how qualified I am to write a review on it. However, it crossed my mind the other day, and I remembered how much I treasured this series. It was available in the elementary school library (I think I read it in fifth grade), which was great because I could hide the picture of the bra on the spine from my mom, in order to not bring up any awkward discussions. Just reading the summary now brought back gallons of the emb...

I liked this book because it got into details really fast, so i never got bored. Twelve is about a girl named Winnie who she starts going through some changes, but all Winnie wants to do is stay a kid. Winnie also starts to loose here best friend Amanda when a new girl comes to school named Gail. So Winnie decides to be friends with another girl Dina. I also liked this book because Winnie decribes her years and what she goes though, in the summer and school year. The author probably wrote this b...

My daughter is reading this series and I thought I would read it along with her. There is a good discussion in the book of a girl getting her period for the first time, and the reaction of friends to who has and who has not started. This sparked a good discussion with my daughter, which was nice.I liked that the physical changes the girls are going through are approached openly. Not quite like a Judy Blume book where the changes are front and center, but well done nonetheless. Sandra, the older

This book is all about a girl turning twelve and all the things she gets. Now she gets new friends, a new school, and a new life.
