For 14-year-old Liyana Abboud, life in St. Louis, Missouri is perfect. She loves shopping in the nearby stores and walking down streets where she knows everyone.

Terrible narration
Revisado: 07-05-21
As usual, the publishers have hired someone who has no clue how to pronounce any Arabic to narrate a book about Arabs. Listening to this was like nails on a chalkboard for me. The narrator butchered the names of people and places, the Arabic words for foods, and even the simplest word for grandmother (siti). She didn’t even make a minimal effort to get any of it right. I could barely focus on the story because of how awful the narration was.

Lisa Damour, PhD, director of the internationally renowned Laurel School's Center for Research on Girls, pulls back the curtain on the teenage years and shows why your daughter's erratic and confusing behavior is actually healthy, necessary, and natural. Untangled explains what's going on, prepares parents for what's to come, and lets them know when it's time to worry.

"Excellent book, with a few caveats"
Revisado: 08-02-20
Overall, this book provides a very helpful framework for thinking about how to guide girls through adolescence. I really appreciated the ways Dr. Damour helped me think about the role of conflict, honesty, vulnerability, patience, and self-care in my relationship with my daughter. There were a few aspects of the book that I thought were a bit problematic. It was extremely hereto- and cis-normative, aside from a few short passages where Dr. Damour mentioned coming out as lesbian or transgender. Unfortunately, she didn’t discuss the wide range of queer identities or sexual/romantic relationships that may be relevant to adolescents, and she misgendered a hypothetical trans child. Yikes! There were some fatphobic and medically inaccurate references to weight gain as well. And her discussion of drug laws as being in response to the potential harm that can be caused by particular substances is historically and politically inaccurate, which is a bit problematic when it comes to having honest conversations with adolescent girls about substance use (and I was disappointed that there wasn’t a discussion of tobacco use and vaping, as that is a much bigger concern for me). That said, the book significantly shifted the way I have been thinking about my work as a parent of a pre-teen girl who is already taking up these developmental strands in her own behavior and thinking, and it has made me much more hopeful and excited about the years to come.
