    A Smart Girls Guide to Friendship Troubles has been rated 5 starsThis book is amazing!

    My almost 8 year old daughter wanted to read books about becoming a “older girl” way too soon. The books I found, including the book from american girl “the care and keeping of you” was too advanced for her. Was I ever glad I found this book! We bought this book, the smart girls guide to manners, and beauty 101. These book DO NOT cover periods, bras boys etc but are written for the 7-10 year old girl. Perfect for my daughters age. THANK YOU AMERICAN GIRL!! You’ve included the girls in the “younger” set without giving them too much information for them to handle. This book deserves 10 stars!!

    A Smart Girls Guide to Friendship Troubles has been rated 5 starsGreat Friendship Advice

    I bought this for my 8 year-old when she was having friendship issues with a girl she had been close to since kindergarten. She would come home crying every day because she was feeling left out of the group. We read this book together and found it helpful in dealing with her problem. It gave her so much good advice that I could see her confidence building and her fear quickly diminishing. She found the courage to talk to her friend and they are “hanging out” again. Thank you to American Girl for truly understanding a girl’s heart.

    A Smart Girls Guide to Friendship Troubles has been rated 2 starsTeen’s Review

    I didn’t like this book so much because American Girl has a tactful way of wording things. You’d think this is a good thing, but it’s really not, becuase most of the book suggests being a good friend, but what if your friend is the one that’s complicating things? If you have a specific relationship with a friend that’s not working out, this book will help you out somewhat, but won’t answer your specific concerns.
