5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book For Girls, September 11, 2008
By Karen Macklin (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is great for tween and teen girls. It speaks to modern society's way of putting pressure on girls to be perfect all the time. You're Amazing makes a distinction between the "Supergirl" (the stressed-out girl who is afraid to fail and always trying to impress everybody) and the "Amazing Girl" (the girl who tries her best, stays confident, asks questions, and makes space for herself and her opinions in the world). It's a great read, and has lots of fill-in section where girls can journal about their own thoughts and experience, and create positive and affirming text messages to send to each other. Very empowering! -- Karen Macklin (author of "Indie Girl")
