An award-winning guide to the sometimes erratic and confusing behavior of teenage girls. Dr. Lisa Damour worked as an expert collaborator on Pixar’s Inside Out 2!
In this sane, highly engaging, and informed guide for parents of daughters, Dr. Damour draws on decades of experience and the latest research to reveal the seven distinct—and absolutely normal—developmental transitions that turn girls into grown-ups, including Parting with Childhood, Contending with Adult Authority, Entering the Romantic World, and Caring for Herself.
Providing realistic scenarios and welcome advice on how to engage daughters in smart, constructive ways, Untangled gives parents a broad framework for understanding their daughters while addressing their most common questions, including
- My thirteen-year-old rolls her eyes when I try to talk to her, and only does it more when I get angry with her about it. How should I respond?
- Do I tell my teen daughter that I’m checking her phone?
- My daughter suffers from test anxiety. What can I do to help her?
- Where’s the line between healthy eating and having an eating disorder?
- My teenage daughter wants to know why I’m against pot when it’s legal in some states. What should I say?
- • My daughter’s friend is cutting herself. Do I call the girl’s mother to let her know?
Perhaps most important, Untangled helps mothers and fathers understand, connect, and grow with their daughters. When parents know what makes their daughter tick, they can embrace and enjoy the challenge of raising a healthy, happy young woman.

Adolescents are Adults-with-Less Sense.
Kylie Landry has a big problem. She has been left behind in
elementary school while her best friend and older brother has moved
on up to middle school. She has become invisible to all the people
that matter most to her. She has to face the changes in her life in
order to move on.
Five boys from Napa, California, are doing their best to make it
through middle school. This group of Grape Field Middle School
misfits includes Blake "the Snake" Sloan, Jeff "the Nose" McCoy,
Billy "the Mackster" Mack, Sy "Slo-Mo" Wilcox, and Wesley "Tex"
Strait. Together, they get in and out of trouble, dealing with both
school and romance.
Blake develops a crush on Rose, but he doesn't know how to talk
to a girl. She's not like his buddies, and it's going to take an
awful lot of work to charm her. Meanwhile, the boys get caught up
in adventures, including a scary overnighter to Tex's parents'
ranch and some dangerous neighborhood shenanigans.
Blake realizes over the course of his relationship with Rose
that his friends can both help him and hinder him. Even so, girls
may come and go, but true friends are forever. Middle school might
not be big enough for Blake and his buds, but the boys aren't big
enough for the real world-not yet, but they will be someday
