Juliana Foster

Yet another childhood find that I dove back into! This book is a funny collection of why girls are awesome and how we can be the best at everything! It's comedic yet also totally awesome and gives some amusing tips. How to dive off a high dive, how to press flowers, how to make a drum and other amusing activities and ideas are packed into this book. If you're looking for something creative and amusing, this book is for you!

It's a great book for middle grade readers. It's something unique to pick up.
