Be True to Yourself: A Daily Guide for Teenage Girls

9 reviews
Amanda Ford

Conari Press, 2000

Big hit with my daughter!
I bought this for my 13-year-old. Even though the reviews were very positive, I worried about how successful of a gift it would be as my daughter is a no-nonsense girl who does not like fluff or mushiness. But she loves it! She reads it faithfully every day, and it's been a great conversation starter as she tells me about the "lesson" of the day. For her, it's just the right mixture of ...

Multnomah Books, 2006

Excellent teen read!
I have read every one of the Diary of a Teenage Girl books--Caitlin's, Chloe's, and Kim's, and this is one of the best in the series. Of the three, Kim comes across as the most "real," especially after her mother dies of cancer. The only bad thing I have to say about this series as a collective is that there are some things that happen in all the books. For example, many people who have read the ...

Frog Books, 2002

Very Good Book
This book was wonderful, an eye opener to the world. I'm 15 years old and I love this. The way it was written, the illutrations, etc. Although I disagree with the people who say it's not for anyone under 17 because this was in my school library and the librarian did not have a problem with me checking it out. I think it's just for people who are mature enough to handle its graphic content. Anyway ...

A nice ending!
Throughout the series I had been waiting anxiously for this one and enjoyed it much more than I had even hoped. In the past ones Caitlin had been very...I don't know, annoying. While I appreciated her faith and views on life, I didn't like how sometimes she came off as too preachy. In this one she starts to loosen up a bit and it was very fun to read! Would totally recommend this book and others ...

A must for Teen Book Clubs or Women's Studies courses!
As a former professor of psychology and women's studies and current director of a center for girls in NYC, I would like to say this book is a must-read. For all those who have lamented the "white" slant on the information that is available about teen girls' issues, this book fills a void. Iris Jacobs weaves together essays, poems, and stories with an engaging style that is both sophisticated ...

Lisa knows girls!
I was molested as a young child, until I was 12. I have never read ANY book that hit home like Dr. Machoian's The Disappearing Girl. I wish my Mom had read it. Thanks for this wonderful book. I loved it.
