Why read it?

1 author picked A Smart Girl's Guide as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book focuses on “normal” worry rather than clinical manifestations of anxiety but still, it is chock full of practical tips for stressed-out tweens. Like all of the books in the Smart Girls series, Worry educates and empowers readers, helping them understand why they feel what they feel while giving practical advice about making changes.

From Dawn's list on for older kids who worry too much.
