Reviews

School Library Journal

“Both texts [Girl Power on the Playing Field and Girl Power in the Family] flow well and the authors’ decidedly post-feminist voices come through loud and clear. Upbeat additions.”
—School Library Journal

The Horn Book Guide

“. . .a good dose of pep talk about self-esteem.”
