| Publisher Description: Being a tween girl is tough, caught in that murky space between elementary school and high school. Girl Talk poses and answers the day-to-day life questions today's tween girls want to know in a kid-friendly package. The expert-approved advice appears to come straight from the mouths of peer mentors, rather than adults, so tween readers will be assured they're getting authentic information. |
