Gr 4–6—This slim title is filled with helpful advice for girls navigating life's ups and downs. The text discusses strategies to feel good about yourself and your abilities even when things are not going your way. Ideas for keeping self-esteem high are accompanied by colorful cartoon art, quizzes, and lists of do's and don'ts. The upbeat tone and solid tips are sure to bolster girls when they need to hear some positive affirmation. The encouraging words aren't particularly new, but everyone could use a gentle reminder that liking yourself and trusting your instincts will get you through the good days and the bad.—Elaine Baran Black, Georgia Public Library Service, Atlanta
