Just say it’s for your daughter. I work in a public library and we get Dads picking up teen novels for their kids all the time!
_Are You There God_ changed my life when I was 12. It helped me accept menstruation and my sexuality, and made me realize I wasn’t the only pre-teen with questions about religious identity and why my boobs wouldn’t grow.( “We must! We must! We must increase our bust!” ) It also dealt sensitively with middle school bullying and elitism, showing how even nice kids like Margaret could get drawn into power games.

I can’t wait to share it with my child-of-an-intermarriage daughter in a few years!
