Summary: Need a book to explain some of the trials of adolescence?
Review: Have you ever heard of the American Girl book, "The Care and Keeping of You"? This is the Christian version! Ms. Rue and the girls from the Lily series explain, talk about, ask questions, give tips, and more on the subject of adolescence. What's better about this one? It's got God in it. Ms. Rue encourages girls to take all of their problems to God, and provides spaces in the book to write out prayers to our Heavenly Father. I loved reading it, as it has given me knowledge about changes, and what to do with my problems. I suggest it for girls ages 8-14.

Summary: godly book for 8years-preteens
Review: I bought these book for my girls when they were 9. They poured over them. It was a great way to open the door to body changing talks! I like the journal areas where the girls can write their feelings. With permission from my girls, I would read the entries while sitting with the girls. Helps me to see where their thought lie. The whole series of these "It's a God thing" have my 5 star rating!

Summary: Great for beginning discussions
Review: I bought this book for my daughter who is 11-1/2. We have always had very open, honest dialogue about everything and this is a great book for continuing that dialogue. She and I cuddle on the couch and read the chapters together, then we discuss the journaling part and she goes to her room, sits and writes, and prays over the parts that it says to do. It's great.

My only concern with the book is that sometimes it mentions "if your mother doesn't agree with this, that's okay, you need to respect her decision, maybe approach it with her later". It give the feel to me of 'your mom is wrong, but bring it up later.' I'm not crazy about that, but otherwise it's a great book. I will likely check into getting the others in this series.

Summary: a great book!
Review: I love this book. No girl should be without it. To me it's like...a must. Without it i wouldn't survive "the girl thing." This book answers all your "girl stuff" questions from diets to excercise and MUCH MORE! Check this book out. It's great. I'm sooo glad i got it for Christmas.

Summary: This is great!
Review: This is a wonderful book! I wish they had books like this when I was a little girl. This makes an uncomfortable subject very comfortable. My daughter really enjoyed this book - she said "Mom, I'm glad you bought this for me - it's really informative." And she is only 10 years old. The author did a really good job of answering the "what if this happens to me" questions. It also addresses the subject of eating correctly, exercising, and staying away from things that will harm your body. My daughter understands that her body is a special gift from God and that she needs to treat it like a precious jewel. The author adds humor to it which makes it fun reading.
