Leave it to American Girl to release the most complete guide to helping girls connect with friends, find what they need and stay safe online. I absolutely love everything about this book!! It's an engaging quick read and handy resource complete with a quiz to test if you are ready to connect and how private are you? These topics are vital in today's world: releasing personal data online, meeting offline, tech talk, email do's and don'ts, instant messaging, blogs, bullies, social networks and so much more! It's the 411 for staying safe, connected and informed!

You're a parent and you want to keep your kids safe online...but you don't want to scare the daylights out of them. A Smart Girl's Guide is a great place to start, helping your daughter(s) understand more about how the Internet and technology work, why it's not smart to share personal information online, and how to get the most out of the Internet and technology. This book will help protect your kids without terrifying them about Internet predators (we parents worry about that enough) and gives girls smart, practical ways to handle themselves in situations ranging from how to cope with a cyber-bully to how to use the Internet for homework and research. Best of all, it reinforces the bond between child and parent, and gives parents a way to talk about these important issues in a way girls will respond and relate to.

Just what I needed for my 'tweens'. It's filled with useful information that even I can use. Great for children of all internet ages. Thanks American Girl for another fine book. You chose a great subject.

I purchased this book for my granddaughter's 12th birthday and she was delighted with it and felt that it helped her become a smarter user of the internet.

I got the book for my nine year old sister. Its made for about that age give or take a few years. She loved it. It helped her understand why mom and dad need to be around when she gets online.

Very informative and smart book. A lot of the topics had already been covered by my daughter's computer class at school, but I know not all schools are covering these Internet Safety topics.

I bough this for my friend Steve. He is not the smartest when it comes to internet etiquette. It has helped him/her steer to the safe sites and out of harms's way.
