Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-9-Rimm has adapted her best-selling guide to success for women, See Jane Win (Crown, 1999), for a younger audience. Here, she offers advice and strategies to help readers become "I CAN girls"-individuals who are smart, motivated, creative, and persistent, among other admirable qualities. The message is strong and simple, the advice is practical, and readers looking for guidance and direction will respond positively to the book's format. The author tackles issues such as self-esteem, failure, and change in a clear and gentle manner. Each chapter offers basic tips on how to improve one's skills, both academic and social, along with quizzes and activities. Success stories and inspiring quotes from famous and successful women from a wide range of backgrounds and careers are scattered throughout. A useful self-help book and practical guide to life.

"Mrs. Hoagie" (Hoagies' Gifted Education Page) - See all my reviews    A fun-and-valuable read for girls in upper elementary or middle school, Rimm's See Jane Win for Girls is a self-esteem boosting, self-discovery book that girls enjoy. My 12-year-old daughter enjoyed reading this book to reveiw with me, and she was smiling often, and even laughed out loud. From Brainpower to Social Smarts (or not!), continuing to tough topics including When Things Change (moving, new school, divorce, etc.) and Family (anger, parents, siblings, and more), Rimm talks about many of the everyday and extraordinary issues facing smart girls today, and offers introspection and ideas for dealing with them, and growing from them. See Jane Win for Girls is mixed with quotes and questions from young girls, quotes from grown-up girls, and inventories and tips to make the book even more personal for your smart girl. I'd recommend this book for all gifted young girls, before, during and after those difficult middle school years. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW, April 15, 2003 By  Shirley Priscilla Johnson "Author/Reviewer -...
