Confession time: I just got my license earlier this year. I had my permit for 2 years and even had to renew it once. I wanted to drive, but hated being behind the wheel all at the same time.
I can confidently state that I am an adequate driver, I haven't hit a trashcan or curb in the last few weeks. 😉 I'm just kidding, really though once I drove more frequently most of the nerves eased off my shoulders. (That doesn't mean I still don't start each driving experience with prayer. You know, just in case...)

I say all this because it wasn't so much the colors that called me to this book (though they did help), but it was the words "Change a Tire" that grabbed me and held on for dear life. As a newer driver and a soon to be new car owner I thought it might be wise for me to know how to change a tire, God forbid anything ever happen.

I can't even explain how excited I was when I opened the package this little gem was in. I was telling everyone in my family about it, even my poor cousin was subjected to my gushing.

That excitement overflowed onto my reading since I read the entire book in less than a day, I probably could've read it faster had I not taken any breaks.

I loved the formatting of this book and the easy to understand instructions. They didn't go in depth, but it gave a great little summary of how to's with wonderful illustrations.
The book hit a wide range of things girls should know and implement in their lives in a fun way that was easy to understand.

This was the perfect fast, entertaining yet informative read girls need to conquer life. No I would never look at this as my map to life, but it is a great starting point! I would defiantly gift this to any preteen/new teen I know.

I rated this a 4/5 stars! I think every girl should read this guide.
