Candid Conversations with Connie, Volume 1: A Girl's Guide to Growing Up

Candid Conversations with Connie #1

by Kathy Buchanan

Welcome to "Candid Conversations with Connie"! And these conversations are going to be very candid. In this book we're only taking questions from girls! Yep, they can ask whatever they want, and I will answer from my vast knowledge and experience. (Well . . . maybe not vast.) If I don't know the answer, I'll ask my friend Penny. We've been where you are, and we know what it's like.You're not a little girl anymore, but you're still years off from adulthood. You still like to play, but you also enjoy having long conversations with friends. You sometimes want to cuddle on your mom's lap, and other times you wish she would just leave you alone. All that's pretty normal, and you'll see that from the questions we're answering.

I read this with my three youngest girls (ages 8-12, at the time of reading), and I was surprised by how sucked in they all were by it. When it came time to answer questions, they all jumped in with their thoughts. I'm not sure if it's because they already felt comfortable with Connie and the other characters, from listing to so much Adventures in Odyssey, or what, but this was definitely a good way to spark long, often surprisingly deep, conversations with them. I would definitely recommend trying this as a read aloud with a similar age of girl. It's never too soon to start talking about some of the issues that "Connie" addresses in the book, especially in this day and age.

This book is great for tween and teen Christian girls who have questions about growing up. It addresses topics like faith, hormones, boys, and more from a family-friendly and Christian perspective. If you are a parent and are in the market for something for your daughter to read, I would recommend this book. I found the conversations about Jesus to be very relatable. Even I, as an adult, learned a few things from this book. The characters are good roal models. I love adventurous in Oddessy and can't wait to read more of these books!
