Summary: Perfect gift for my daughter
Comment: I get a small gift for each of my children on mother's day to basically thank them for without them I would not be a mother. She is soon to be 13 and this was a perfect book for her. She reads bits of it each night and talks with me about it too. Great book!
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Nice book for kids entering adolescence
Comment: 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.

Summary: Great book
Comment: This is an excellent book for girls who don't have an older sibling that could tell them about their experience through puberty. It is also great for teens entering middle school. During elementary school, there arent many cliques around but in middle school, you'll see cliques EVERYWHERE,and I mean everywhere. this book will teache the child how to deal with the attitudes of the people in the clique, and not to be ashamed of who they are.

Summary: Cute for those under 15
Comment: This book is extremely cute-for those under the age of 15. I bought this book when I was 12 and I'm 17 now. Some of the things have stuck with me. Like how to find your power stance and how to plunge a toliet (don't ask). But as I look through it now there's alot of things that seem like they will be good advice but are just obvious. Almost ever section and topic is very blunt and striaght forward. Like the "Be in Charge of Your Financial Life" is quite obvious with the five steps as 1. Earn More 2. Spend Less 3. Save Sufficiently 4. Invest Wisely and 5. Give Generously. And that was as about as indebth as you get. So overall it really didn't grab my attention and bored me.

Summary: My Mistake
Comment: I was hoping, without going to a bookstore and completely looking through it, that this would be a benficial book for my 13 year old. Instead it put her in tears. Instead of accepting themselves as who they are and how they look, they bring kids to the conclusion that they cannot be OK if they break out. My daughter was very upset and all I could do was apologize. If you are looking for a book that wants to compress your daughter into the current fashions and mainstream, maybe this is for you, then again, I strongly believe that my daughter is special and that this has not helped her self-confidence or her understanding of all the changes happening. Personally, I do not want my daughter caught up in all of the latest makeup and dress, I want her to be able to wear what she is comfortable in and feel comfortable in her own skin. Next time I will review any books I get for her much closer.
