"Bialik is encouraging without being preachy . . . many teens will be drawn to this engaging and useful book." --Booklist
"Ultimately, the author stresses that "Girling Up" does not end with adulthood--it is a lifelong journey. Thanks to Bialik, readers have a road map to make this trip memorable." --School Library Journal
"Written in conversational style . . . the tone remains understanding, supportive, and respectful of the reader's individuality throughout the text." --VOYA
"Combining her personal experiences and academic credentials, Bialik--television star, mother of two, and neuroscientist--tackles six aspects of what she calls 'girling up, ' 'the transition from girl to young woman.' When discussing widely covered topics that include body and image, the importance of a balanced diet, exercise, and growth, Bialik adds a few novelties--for example, yoga poses that relieve menstrual cramps and the introduction of mindfulness to eating and stress management." --Publishers Weekly
