Book Reviews of GirlWise: How to Be Confident, Capable, Cool, and in Control
Book Review: Nice book for kids entering adolescence
Summary: 4 Stars
I gave this book to my daughter for her 13th birthday and she loves it. She has been skipping around and reading only those chapters that interest her in her early adolescence. It contains advice and recommendations for grooming, friendships, middle school challenges, puberty issues, and keeping up with school work, as well as more long-term advice like doing your own laundry and job-seeking. The authors guide girls from children to young women with ease. Written in a chatty and contemporary manner, it is neither preachy nor overly grow-up. GirlWise is a book that encourages compassion, maturity, responsibility, self-confidence and independence, without promoting self-indulgence, arrogance, or premature sexuality.
