Book Reviews of Yikes! A Smart Girl's Guide To Surviving Tricky, Sticky, Icky Situations
Book Review: Good sense! Don't leave home without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
A Smart Girl's Guide to Sticky Situations is an absolutely wonderful book for preteens about some of the weird situations that people of any age can find themselves in. With very appealingly silly illustrations, the book covers the expected items like flunking a test, not getting picked for a team, looking goofy in photos, etc.
However, there are some serious situations that are beautifully handled. For example, information about what to do if you are separated from your family in the city could save a child's life. Knowing how to handle false accusations could save a child's sanity!
Little sidebars called "Disaster Blasters" provide information to prevent all manner of inconvenience, embarrassment and grief! While some reviewers have stated that this is merely a compilation of common sense, keep in mind that maturity comes with age and experience, and this book is aimed at a very young audience.
I really do wish that I had this book, myself, many years ago, and I highly recommend it for any young lady in your family circle.
