Coming-of-Age Books For Boys

• American Medical Association Boy's Guide to Becoming a Teen
  A straightforward and nonjudgmental approach to healthy eating, exercise, and skin care, feelings, relationships, and sex.
• The Glass Cafe: Or the Stripper and the State; How My Mother Started a War with the System That Made Us Kind of Rich and a Little Bit Famous
  The title says it all... and this book will leave you with a very different view of strippers and why some women work that job.
• How Angel Peterson Got His Name
  For the boys who have ever dared to pee on an electric fence. This side-splittingly funny book takes you on the true life adventures of growing up in the midwest in post-Korean War times, where you made your own fun with what you could find at the army surplus store.
• Lawn Boy
  A modern day rags-to-riches story, where a lawn mower takes a young teen on the ride of his life.
• The Teenage Guy's Survival Guide
  Daldry's tone is irreverent and warmly sarcastic as he trashes myths about masturbation ("It won't make you go crazy or blind") and homosexuality ("It doesn't mean that you have to start wearing women's underwear") and helps readers cope with being dumped, having mood swings, the temptations of drugs, and finding out that their mothers know about their stash of porn magazines
