Throughout The Girl Guide, Christine Fonseca helps young readers to understand the importance of: planning, having priorities, conducting mature arguments and managing their online lifestyleShe does this through the use of quizzes, what-if scenarios and simple straight-forward speech. All of which will help them figure out who they are and where they fit in in this turbulent world.,Leigh-Ann Brodber,The Young Folks, 4/2/13
Fonseca's text rolls the fun of scrapbooking and taking fashion magazine self-assessments together with common sense advice and nearly tough love dispensed by a life coach . . . There's a bit of genius at play here as the author gives the gift of time to her readers—time for reflection and for de-stressing through the act of creating. Teens should not rush through this book. No quick fixes are offered, just reasonable suggestions for maintaining true north through the turbulent teen years.,Brenda Kahn,School Library Journal, 6/1/13
I can't say enough positive things about this book. The ideas are spot on, the style is engaging and the advice is valuable. It is set up so that each chapter addresses a different, very relevant topic in teen girls' lives. Each chapter also includes worksheets and activities to allow the reader to engage with the concepts and apply them to her life.,Sofia H, 6/7/18
