Gr 8 Up-Insights from a teen's perspective infuse conventional techniques of spiritual self-improvement: breathing exercises, meditation, aromatherapy, dream analysis, journaling, and more. While there may be nothing new about self-help put forth, the author's fresh viewpoint is impressive in its comprehensive scope. She has updated this edition to include "issues like cyber-bullying, sexting, and Facebook mania" and promoting healthy eating without obsessing about food or fitness. The volume is well researched and validated by Stillman's own experiences as well as testimonials from girls around the world. Playful line art decorates well-organized chapters, many containing nested lists, highlighted text boxes and "Further Resources" and/or endnotes for each chapter. The author's unpretentious yet stellar intelligence endears readers who are likely to consider this book a new BFF. Destined to become a popular item.-Kathryn Diman, Bass Harbor Memorial Library, Bernard, ME (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
