A review by annebennett1957
Being a Girl by Hayley Long

4.0

I love this book and tone in which Ms. Long wrote it. I just wish that I had had this book when my girls were young teenagers. I think they would have liked getting advice from a book rather than good-old-mom all the time.

I can't figure out the target age for this book. In the beginning it seemed like ti was talking to Tweens. Then it mentioned 13-year-olds and later there is advice about STIs, contraceptives, and sex. I would pick the perfect target to be somewhere in Junior High.

The illustrations and use of script fonts was very appealing. I didn't need to read every word to know that this book is a winner.
