Reader Comments:

This was a great book and interesting read! It was inspiring to read the stories of so many successful women. It proved that women can do jobs that were thought to be men's jobs. I could relate to it. I think all girls with dreams should read this book.
Sarah H. Culver, age 11The Smart Girls' Guide is filled with excellent advice that should reassure girls who are on track and help redirect girls who are losing their way to a successful future. The writing style and stories are interesting and easy to follow.

It was well written and it makes you think about life questions.
Lindsay Marie Johnson, age 11The pleasure was in the time she and I spent talking about "life questions" when reading and discussing the book with my granddaughter.

My daughters and I both read the book and found that it was timely in a number of ways. My girls have had a great anxiety about moving. We have used the book most specifically to help the girls cope with this new change. I believe the strategies that you have given are tangible and accessible.
