A Smart Girl's Guide: Crushes: Dating, Rejection, and Other Stuff (American Girl® Wellbeing)

Fabulous book - especially for ages 10-12. My daughter read this very quickly despite being a little embarrassed she was reading it & us parents knew it. Crushes are all the rage in late elementary school onward.Highly recommend for curious girls. These books are great for confidence & wording that supports growth. Nothing objectionable about it. They all grow up! This is a tool to help them make good choices & have clarity before they need to decide what to do in the moment.

We have several of these books from the series. There is always great information and helpful suggestions in them. Definitely recommend

My fourth grader didn’t think she would like this book because it’s embarrassing but she loved all the information in it. It really helped her with some of the conversations that come up and how to handle them. Overall, this book was adorable and great read for ages for fourth and fifth grade.

Overall the book has helpful points of view that are pretty even keeled to navigate young readers through some mortifying times.My only gripe is sometimes "old ways" of thinking for women are still in this updated version. I feel the need to interject from time to time.For example; in a section about how to respond to someone when you don't have the same feelings. Some of the responses tell young girls to apologize for not feeling the same way. I told my daughter that it is not something to apologize for, instead to be honest and kind. It's okay to let someone know that you don't have the same feelings.

Very helpful

Didnt come broken or badly printed like other reviews. Illustrations are cute and explain the topic.

This book was wonderful. Inclusive and open! My daughter loves the quizzes and q/a portions.

Great advice for tween girls!
