Book Review - You're Amazing
Girls Inc Presents: You're Amazing by Claire Mysko is a great book designed to help girls deal with the pressure of being perfect. Aimed at teenagers, it delves into subjects like school pressure, weight issues, crushes, relationships, friends, family and priorities. Starting with the difference between a Supergirl - one who feels the need to be perfect, to please everyone else first and put herself last and an Amazing Girl, who isn't afraid to ask questions, ask for help, is proud of her accomplishments and takes care of herself, the book goes on and presents stories and tips from real life girls - some of them teens who are in the midst of living through it, and some from older women who have survived. The book includes sound advice, thoughtful tips and stories that are sure to strike a chord with just about ever girl. Included are some quizzes and journal activities to help your girl get the most of the book. A perfect book to read right before the start of school, consider starting your own family book club - read along with her and use it as the perfect place to start some discussions about important, if somewhat difficult topics.
The book is available on Amazon & at other booksellers. Check out the author's, Claire Mysko, website as well.
