Rating: 3 1/2 stars

Review:

A Girl's Guide to Life gives good practical advice to girls such as urging them to think for themselves and not to let others talk them into doing something that is wrong for them. Also giving the reader advice on how to say "No" and which situation it might pertain to.

This is written in a conversational tone making it seem as if the author is speaking directly to the reader. For older girls this information would probably be a refresher for the advice they received when they were younger but it's good information and it doesn't hurt to read it again.

I think this would make a good gift for a little girl. The information in the book is timeless.
