This upbeat, whimsical little guide is one of the best books to come out of the "Girl Power Movement." Girls and women alike will love its good advice, empowering suggestions, and entertaining, easy-reading format. I especially liked the chapter on the importance of having fun and finding joy in one's life. Highly recommended for a daughter, granddaughter, niece, or young friend!

The fun section showed great suggestions on things to do for fun. I would have never thought to stick my toes to the sky. I enjoyed the part about starting your own band. It made my friends and I start our own band. I enjoyed learning about different women and what they achived. My favorite saying and comeback was You throw like a girl. Just like Jackie Mitchell. Thanks! I have used it on some of the boys at my school and they were speechless. The comeback was simple but it blew their socks off. Girl Talk is a great book about the power of girls!!!!!!!

This is a clever and fun book that provides lots of ideas for how teenage girls can keep their self-esteem intact during those vulnerable years. It contains many clever insights on how to broaden one's approach to common aspects of everyday teenage life. It is written and illustrated in such a way that one can either read it all at once, skip chapters, or skim through various sections without loss of continuity. The underlying feminist tone underscores its points with humorous musings and little known historical facts. The book is rich and creative with interactive exercises that are designed to make teenage girls feel good about themselves and to help support each other. The positive and encouraging attitude makes it refreshing to read.

Judith Harlan has given adolescent girls a terrific gift. Her useable, intuitive and practical approach to surviving adolescence and building a solid adulthood will be treasured by her readers. A perfect present for a daughter, sister, niece, granddaughter or friend--any girl whose life you want to embolden, enhance, empower.

If you are having a hard time with your friends this is a great book and if you are not it is still a great book.

THIS BOOK HAD SOME THINGS IN IT THAT WERE OK BUT IT ISN'T REALISTIC AT ALL. SHE IS ALL ABOUT PROVING YOU ARE BETTER THAN A BOY. SHE ACTS LIKE IT IS ILLEGAL TO HAVE A CRUSH ON A BOY UNTILL YOU'RE AN OLD MAID.THIS BOOK IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD GO IN MY BURN PILE. IF YOU ARE AROUND THE AGE OF 7-9 YOU MIGHT AND THATS A REAL BIG MIGHT LIKE THIS BOOK.
