Gr 4–8—The goal of these volumes is to encourage girls to have confidence and self-esteem. Whether the focus is on accessorizing, making gifts, or keeping a diary, the emphasis is always on expressing one's unique personality and not being guided by peer pressure or media hype. The books provide practical, common-sense advice without being preachy. There are frequent suggestions for avoiding unnecessary expense by either repurposing items already owned or making new items from easily obtainable materials (e.g., modeling dough for beads in Accessories) All the titles are peppered with interesting sidebars that reveal past fashion trends or provide tips that readers will appreciate. With its positive, upbeat attitude, this set would be a pleasing addition to most collections serving tweens.
