Prolific author Rue, most noted for her youth books The Lily Series, here gives Mom an up-to-date and humorous look at the tween world of girls, or what Rue calls 'mini-women.' From such hot-button topics as identity, beauty, puberty, and friendships, Rue clearly has her finger on the pulse on this age group. Her example scenarios ring true, capturing both the eye rolls and the need for a hug (often simultaneously). While Rue directs her advice to a Christian audience, her parenting approach is recommended for any parent of a tween. Her witty humor translates well, and she has earned her chops with this age group. Highly recommended.
