Book: Discovery Girls Fab Girls Guide to Friendship Hardship
Description: The Fab Girls Guide to Friendship Hardship is one of a four-book set of survival guides for middle school girls. In this book girls will read about how to deal with problems in friendships and best ways to make and keep true friends. It includes chapters on mean girls, cliques and being the best friend you can be.
My Review: After reading through this book my first thought was I wish I had this book when I was growing up. I've learned a lot about friendship over the years, but it's taken a long time and broken relationships to truly learn how to be a good friend. I can say I still struggle with this from time to time! I think this book would be a great resource for any tween or teenager. I love the chapter on Being the Best Friend You can Be - anyone can benefit from the information shared. It gives great advice from dealing with conflict to letting a friendship go.
I was also sent a couple of recent issues of Discovery Girls Magazine. There are 2 different editions. One for girls 8 & Up and also a middle-school edition. The magazines are great because they feature real girls on the cover and in each issue. The content is driven from girl readers themselves. Since I don't have a daughter of this age yet I requested some feedback from women whose daughters receive this magazine and got nothing but positive responses. It sounds like this magazine is truly a great resource for girls and the content is very age-appropriate.

ReplyDeleteGreat website.. I am new to the DG site and learned a great deal I'll share with my 10 yo.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a neat magazine - I learned they have features on recycling, e.g. celebrating Earth Day... and I think they would be a better voice than I am to encourage things like turning off the lights when you leave the room! Thanks! belauvibes (at) yahoo(dot) com

At the Discovery Girls website, I think the Advice section is a wonderful idea. Girls have issues, many of which they do not feel comfortable talking to anyone about. With this column, they can get their questions answered without having to talk to someone in person.
