5 out of 5 stars From a Psychologist's Perspective, A Really Helpful Book !   April 13, 2008

The Truth: I'm a Girl, I'm Smart and I Know Everything As a positive psychologist I'm always looking for books that are really helpful with tough subjects. This book is a real match for the tough subject of friendships and best girlfriends. This is a subject that just about every girl over 9 has suffered her way through. Most girls have good friends and then discover that there are problems to face: feelings of jealousy or being left out, or really not being someone's best friend. In fact, one reason I wrote my new book, The Truth: I'm a girl, I'm smart and I know everything, was to help girls understand and feel reassured about their complex feelings and issues in the area of friendship. The girl in the book has lots of problems with good friends and in her diary shares her truest feelings and figures out solutions. Girls need all the help they can get as they learn about friends, people ultimately they will treasure for the rest of their lives. So feel free, be a friend to your daughter or neice and get her this book!


5 out of 5 stars Ohhhh! The high drama of middle school power plays!   February 10, 2008

Your seventh grader might be bestest pals with a classmate on Monday, absolutely hate her on Wednesday and be back to undying friendship in time for the week-end! In between, there are snarky girls who spread lies, exclude her from conversations, and leave nasty notes on her desk. And, that's just one week!

In the high-action world of kid politics, your child needs an advantage, and American Girl has provided it with A Smart Girls Guide to Frendship Troubles. Kids, tweens and younger teens will adore this wonderful book!

Highly recommended!

Friendships are important at any age...especially important during the changes that happen as a female goes from little girl to young lady. Contains information in how to make and keep friends and how to choose those qualities in friends that we would ALL want.
