(the twenty-day puberty journal of Duane Homer Leech)
Paulsen, Gary

As twelve-year-old Duane endures the confusing and humiliating aspects of puberty, he watches a newborn bird in a nest on his windowsill begin to grow and become more independent, all of which he records in his journal.
Examines the physical and psychological changes that teenage boys experience as they grow into manhood and discusses such aspects as grooming, social responsibilities and pressures, and sexual behavior.
Presents information from a Christian perspective on a variety of topics for teenage boys, including steroids, alcohol use, body changes, tattoos, pornography, sexual behavior, and more.
