Do you remember the bully in school? Do you remember being teased over something that you had no control over?
Has it left a scar in your life that even now the very thought of it causes a subtle pain within you? I think we all have, and that is very sad for all of us.
In this work by author Nancy Rue we are taken into the young world of such as this. A world where bullies may run rampart and teasing maybe the norm. However, things don't have to end up the way they did with us, not if young people are taught what God would have them to do when confronted with bullies and teasing that borders on pure cruelty. Just what are the guidelines and when is enough, enough and just how do you make it stop? Hard questions are asked, situations explored and solutions given in this book that are sure to help bring peace during the hard years of peer pressure, and decision making days. Growing-up is hard, this wonderful book gives girls a head-start on how to handle troubled waters with their friends, and even enemies in Godly attitudes. Recommended.

I got this book as a birthday gift for my turning-11 daughter. She loves it. I love that the book is honest yet encourages girls to deal with difficult situations in a Christ-like way. I highly recommend this for all girls of this age, but especially those who, like my daughter, have had some social struggles. It is the perfect companion to the Faithgirlz's Sophie series, which my daughter also loves.

Really, I did buy 10 copies and gave them away to fifth and sixth grade girls. The tween-friendly format of story combined with worksheets (you know, the check the box that's most like you things), and d-i-y projects really appealed to the group of girls I was working with. The situations given are real to life. It has prompted a lot of discussion.

This book is AWESOME. I was going through the exact same scenarios as what is explained in the book at the time, & it helps so much. It says how to Godly resolve friendship hurts, confusion, & all the other inevitable questions about your friends!

I lead a church group for 4th to 6th grade girls and their mothers and we are currently working our way through this book. Of all the Faithgirlz series we have read through, this is by far the best and most useful one, and is a great way to transition the older girls to middle school. It has led to many deep discussions and has really brought the girls and moms close together!

I bought this volume along with the other three in this series for Christmas gifts--4 for 3 promotion. I received them a couple of days prior to Christmas and didn't have time to shop for replacement gifts.

I have been a fan of Nancy Rue books for teen girls so thought these would make nice gifts for my neices. This is the only reason I purchased these specific titles.

The covers were inviting, but the paper inside the covers was CHEAP and uninviting. For a retail price of $7.99 each for 132 pages, I expected much higher quality paper. Shame on the publisher!

I did not read these volumes, so I can't comment on the content. I would NOT have purchased any of the books in this set had I seen them first at a bookstore. These books do not invite a reader in. The paper quality makes them look like very "cheap" gifts--think dollar store books.

I give this book two stars only because Nancy Rue is the author.
