School Library Journal

“Exercises at the end of each chapter help readers explore the idea of power in the context of knowing oneself and confidently exercising kindness. A teen audience will find the chapter on the literary archetypes that friends often fulfill particularly entertaining. . . . A solid starting point of inspiration for school libraries looking to build a self-help section.”—School Library Journal
