Also recommend the American girl books, especially the Care and Feeding of You.

I checked out Will Puberty Last my Whole Life? http://www.amazon.com/Will-Puberty-Last-Whole-Life/dp/1570617392 for my 9 year old DD and it speaks pretty frankly about sex. It has a bunch of questions from boys and girls about puberty and sex that were asked to a couple who gave a lot of seminars on the topic.

Isn't this more of a fourth or fifth grade thing? Middle school seems a little late.

Doesn't your child's middle school offer it in health class?

When I was in HS school, I had this great sex ed teacher. She was like a cross between a farmer's daughter who had been raised on a livestock farm, a scientist, and an unshockable sophisticate who was long ago bored to death by adolescent passions. We loved her class. She would deliver the material in a very dry, matter of fact way, with a touch of humor, that avoided the preachiness of both the right and the left. I have to admit I feel very uncomfortable trying to teach my DS myself, and I know my DH will never do it. Any body know a book that might resemble my HS teacher? Something that has lots of facts (not on mechanics, but on birthcontrol, disease, consequences, and amusing facts)
