Books for Girls 10-15

Last month I received a copy of All that Glitters and Truth Or Dare. These books are part of the Scenario Series where you get to pick the ending. You decide how the path the character makes. Truth or Dare (Source) Lindsay Martin is faced with a tough choice: Does she give in to peer pressure and make her friends happy or does she do what she knows is right—even if it means losing her friends forever? Tween readers make the choice in this interactive story and see how the consequences change Lindsay’s life. Includes a contract and prayer to remind the reader of the importance of making godly decisions. This book deals with a situations involving peer pressure, alcohol, disobedience, sneaking around and lying. All that Glitters (Source) Drew Daniels finally has what she thought she wanted—popularity and a cute boyfriend. But now she’s faced with choosing between pleasing her boyfriend and doing what’s right. Tween readers make the choice in this interactive story and see how the consequences change Drew’s life. Includes a contract and prayer to remind the reader of the importance of making godly decisions. This book looks at peer pressure, drug & alcohol use, lying and purity.

Note from Maria: These books obviously deal with some tough situations as stated above, please use your discretion. Only you know your girls and what they should read. The books are written for ages 10-15 but know your child.

My 13 year old niece Samantha (that's her above) came to spend the weekend with me and noticed my pile of books to review. When she asked if she could help, I handed her Truth or Dare. She read it in a day. Then she moved onto All That Glitters and read that one just as quickly. On her way home she wrote up the review and text'd it to me. Here is her take, in her words.

My review on the book was it was good and showed how sometimes it seems right to go with the rest of the group but that its better to not give in to peer pressure. and it was very realistic it could happen to any one. and it may be hard because all your friends are doing it but in the long run you would be very proud of yourself and it shows how you have really grown up . the book overall was inspirational sometimes I give in to peer pressure but most of the time i surround myself with people that love me and wouldn't do that to me because they understand what i am comfortable with and what I am not. These books are great for anyone to read and see how hard it is for someone to face a choice that really isnt easy. I love that I was able to choose the path and enjoyed the stories. I never read anything like this and it was great to be able to select the ending.

What Samantha did get to check out was the fabulous site by Nicole O'Dell for Scenarios For Girls. Click the Pretty Daisy above and you will be transported to the site. This is the perfect site for young girls. I hope that it is still around when my daughter is old enough to be on the computer. I will be mentioning it to all my mom friends whose daughter's are within the age range. Love it! Here is the schedule for the Scenario For Girls Website.
