Hey there! I’m Cath Hak from Sex Ed Rescue, and I wanted to chat with you about this awesome book called Smart Girls Guide to Friendship Troubles by American Girl. Now, American Girl is known for their dolls and magazines, and they’ve got a lot of girls sharing their stories with them. So, they decided to write books about it!

Now, I have to say, American Girl is pretty conservative. They like to play it safe. But that doesn’t mean their books aren’t valuable. In fact, they’re fantastic! You don’t have to worry about your kids stumbling upon anything inappropriate in these books. They keep it clean and informative.

So, let’s talk about this particular book on friendship troubles. I absolutely love that American Girl recognized the need for girls to understand why their friends can be mean one day and nice the next. It can be so confusing, right? Well, this book has got you covered. It answers all those burning questions about friendship.

It covers everything from what makes a good friend to how to tell if someone is a true friend. It even tackles tough situations like feeling left out, dealing with jealousy, and speaking up when a friend is doing something wrong. And hey, what do you do if a friend betrays your trust and spills your secrets? This book has got your back.

Oh, and let me tell you about another great book by Lisa, called Untangled. It’s all about the different stages that girls go through as they grow up. Definitely worth a read!

American Girl is always coming out with new books, and they sometimes update the older ones too. One of the newer ones is called Dramas, Rumors, and Secrets. Sounds juicy, right?

So, if you’ve got a tween girl who’s starting to experience some of the drama that can happen in middle school, this book is a must-have. It’s never too early to start teaching them about healthy friendships.

I hope this info helps you out. Cheers!
