Gr 7–10—Aware that adolescence can be an overwhelming time for girls, Kampakis has created a version of the 10 commandments for teens. She lays out her ultimate truths ("Kindness is more important than popularity"; "You were born to fly"), covering a different one in each chapter ("Confidence," "Reputation," "Patience," "Inner Beauty"). Written from a conservative Christian perspective, the text supplies biblical references to support each truth. Kampakis discusses why each of these topics is an important part of being a girl and how complete acceptance of God's plan is the best path to future happiness. The advice is reassuring and encouraging and the writing accessible, but the book only addresses Christian readers. The chapters on interacting with boys promote "The Rules"-like dating behavior ("If you want a boy to court you, don't make it too easy. Let him work a little…"), but it's a standard message in conservative circles. Kampakis's well-written, big sisterly advice will certainly resonate with some readers but will leave others out of the discourse entirely.—Elaine Baran Black, Georgia Public Library Service, Atlanta
