Rescuing "Supergirls"

Here's a book that is DEFINITELY worth checking out for your summer reading list: Supergirls Speak Out by Liz Funk. Liz is a former supergirl herself and speaks from her experience and from the interviews she conducted with like girls. A supergirl is an overachiever: the girl who has the brains, the beauty, the work ethic and a dangerous desire to achieve - and make it look easy doing so. Her book is an interesting look into this new phenomenon that, as a parent of 'tween girls, gave me insight into some of the new pressures facing our daughters today.
