Gr 6–10Personal style can help teens communicate who they are to the world. However, young women may feel overwhelmed by fashion choices or, alternatively, overlooked by an industry that promotes a single (often unattainable) standard of female beauty. McGraw, a style blogger, has compiled a guide designed to assist readers in finding which styles best complement their body type, including sections on how to highlight and downplay different parts of the body. McGraw also offers advice on boosting self-image and discusses media myths about beauty standards. The colorful photos portray a diverse set of teen girls.
VERDICT Consider this selection for teen collections for its positive tone and outlook on fashion and style.
