This nonfiction book features short chapters and colorful graphics to inform teens about consent. Content includes why consent matters, how to talk about it, puberty, self-awareness, setting boundaries, and more. There is also a second section entitled ”For When You Are Ready” which delves into sexual relationships. This information is particularly valuable for high schoolers but the cartoon illustrations skew younger which may lead to that audience dismissing this particular title.  Glossary and additional resources pages included.  A worthy addition to growth and development collections for grades 7 and up.
