From The Critics
Children's Literature
The advice book written for and by young girls has evoked a response from aspiring boy writers. This is a collection of writings about twenty topics of concern to boys ages seven to sixteen, written by boys ages seven to sixteen. Teamwork, being a gentleman, drugs and peer pressure are some of the topics covered. Lighter fare includes surviving sisters, catching bugs and making your buddies laugh. This is a highly recommended title for classroom and library collections, and would also be a great gift book. Readers will find answers here that promote self-confidence and personal strengths. Note: There are four titles in the "Girls Know Best" series. All are worthy purchases for the elementary and middle school student.
