Chill Out & Stop Making This Weird

A Girl’s Survival Guide Extraordinaire

De: Kelly Olson

Narrado por: Nicole B Dolen

Maddie thought trying to survive the last day of the puberty unit at school would be her biggest challenge—until the question dropped from the sky like an atomic bomb hitting the lunch table: “Maddie, have you had your period yet?”

For a girl who relies on humor to get through every awkward moment, suddenly being clueless and braless isn’t so funny. Now she’s facing one more day of cringe-worthy classroom puberty talk, surviving her first bra fitting, dealing with her first big pimple, and the terrifying possibility of failing the final puberty test and having to retake the test on the first day of summer... with Zach.

Isn’t there a puberty survival manual with step-by-step instructions for moments like these? Where’s one when you desperately need it?

Chill Out & Stop Making This Weird: A Girl’s Survival Guide Extraordinaire follows Maddie through a heartfelt and humorous journey as she navigates the confusing, emotional, awkward, and sometimes hilarious world of growing up. The book aligns with National Health Education Standards and delivers what tweens and teens secretly want to know in a safe, light-hearted way they’ll actually want to listen to—perfect for long car rides or starting real conversations.

Discussion questions at the end help spark open, honest conversations between girls and the adults they trust.

A portion of each sale supports Days for Girls International to help end period poverty.
