Great for girls in grades 5-9

This book is filled with practical advice and tips for school. It's even hole-punched so you can keep it in your binder or notebook. What makes this book unique is that it's in a fun, colorful style, unlike those 300-page study manuals that you will fall asleep within reading the first page. "School Smarts" includes ideas, tips, and advice for homework, taking tests, popularity, organizing your school stuff, reading successfully, taking great notes, and much, much more. Also included are tons of fun quizzes, quotes from girls, ways to make homework more fun, and study tips. "School Smarts" is the perfect book for girls in grades 5-9. It will help you become a better student, no matter what your GPA is.

Packed with Great Ideas

My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed this book! Unlike many of the dense "school" books on the market, Brooks Whitney's creative and playful approach to talking to teachers, homework tips, report writing ideas, popularity....makes this a very readable, and truly helpful book. My daughter especially loved all the quizzes and the colorful illustrations.It should be required reading for all girls. Kudos American Girl, you've done it again!

Nice Advice

This is a really good book if you need advice on school. It has some cool homework tips. It also tells all about teachers and what to do if you don't like your new one. This is a very good book if you really need it, but I don't recomend it to people who are starting college because the tips are not about universities, it is for middle school and possibly young high schoolers like my good friend who is starting this fall at a highschool. She really loved this book too, and says that her advice for reading it is to read it before school starts, when you are not yet bored with it. Once again, this has good tips for school. I recomend it because it has really good advice on homework, and reports. Thanks.
