Awesome!

Chock full of real life girls who dared to do something different. From the rock-climber to the athlete, this inspiring book will provide good examples for any teen. As such, Tina Schwager's book portrays real life teens. But for fun, you can also get inspired by reading about fictional heroines like Buffy or Queen B Superheroine. The more examples of strong, confident young heroines out there for tween and teen girls to read about, the better.

A Must for Reluctant Readers

Though I have not read this book in its entirety, I need to recommend it. I have a student who has been reluctant to read all year-- until I got her this book. She simply could not put it down. She loves the stories, and I love the easy writing style. This book has put her on her way to becoming a reader!

It's all about Crystal Pakizer and horse vaulting!

This book highlights many wonderful girls but none are more impressive that Crystal Pakizer, the young horse gymnast. She recently competed at the Natioanl Chapionships with a recently broken toe and took National Pas De Duex Championship and Reserve Silver Championship. That is what I call a Gutsy Girl!
