This book uses many similar features as "Friends: Making Them and Keeping Them" (also by Criswell) - quizzes, true stories, short pieces of advice - but it delves into more difficult issues. Many girls need help dealing with bullies and bossiness throughout their elementary school years. They need to deal with friends who talk behind their backs, or classmates who tease them.

Where, oh WHERE was this book when I was dealing with all my friend problems in 7th grade?? It truly would have helped tremendously! My 7-year-old is a big softie, just like her mom.

This is a must read for every mother and daughter to share together! It clearly explains, in an age appropriate manner, what bullying is. It also gives constructive suggestions to help girls feel empowered to stand up for themselves. This is a keeper that we will be referring back to and recommending to all of our friends.
A terrific book for parents and daughters to read together, this give practical advice and actionable suggestions that kids will feel comfortable doing. It also talks about how to avoid becoming a bully, even unwittingly.
Solid advice, nicely presented. I think a lot of tweens would find this useful in their day-to-day lives (even the boys who won't pick up an American Girl book--alas!).
Marianna - When I read this book I found out ways of telling other people ways to deal with bulling.
I recomend this book to people how deal with bullies.
I recomend this book to people how deal with bullies.
A good primer for elementary girls on handling garden-variety bullying, the importance of standing up for your friends, and how to tell if you are a bully.
I am very excited to read this book!:-D
This is a GREAT book for parents and daughters. Great practical tips to role play and discuss. Avery and I have been finding excellent ways to handle some of the situations with not-so-nice girls that she goes to school with.
