Grade 5-9. Girls do know best in this book. Its authors, ranging in age from 7-16, offer helpful and often humorous hints in the 26 chapters. Their advice is on-target and mature, and the perspective is fresh and welcome. Some chapters deal with life's embarrassments, grouchy adults, guys, sisters, and boredom. Others challenge young women to volunteer, participate in team sports, save the environment, become more healthy, bolster their vocabularies, avoid drugs, or accept the differences of others. The authors handle serious issues such as teenage depression, divorce, and cancer with sensitivity and insight. Some chapters offer ideas for just plain fun: backyard camping, homemade beauty recipes, and playing in the water. Small black-and-white photos and biographical sketches of the contributors, along with their pet peeves, dreams, hobbies, and heroes, are included. An introduction by Kerri Strug relates how she coped with challenges in becoming an Olympic gold medalist. Many chapters provide addresses and phone numbers of organizations to contact for help or information, and several books for further reading are mentioned throughout. Girls are sure to relate to this well-done offering.?Leigh Ann Jones, Carroll Middle School, Southlake, TX
