The Red Tent would be a good one for an older girl. Great book... But not for young teens...

Here is something I found looking for it:

Circle of Stones----by Judith Duwark

How might it have been different for you
if on your first menstrual day
Your mother had given you a bouquet
of flowers
and taken you to lunch
And then the two of you had gone to meet
your father at the jeweler--
Where your ears were pierced,
And your father bought you your
first pair of earrings.
And then you went with a few of your
friends and your mother's friends
to get your first lip coloring. And then you
went for the very first time to the
Women's Lodge to learn the wisdom
of women.
How might your life be different?

It was on this site: (LOTS of books) First Menses

Here is another book I found called: Moon Days : Creative Writing About Menstruation It is endorced by Susan Weed, who is my favorite herbal healing writer. She is wonderful! Here is a link.

Love Val

Edit... One more thought... a great book on stuff like this is "Are you there God? It's me Margret." By Judy Blume... not a Goddess book (and no I am not Christan) but it really captures well the things girls are thinking about at that age.
