Customer Reviews

Better when you read them all.

Each story in this collections seems to represent a facet of a girl's youth, whether it be dealing with her self imagine, or standing up and fighting for her dreams. When read as a collection, I think these stories pull together to present a realistic picture of the trials faced by teen girls.

A nice collection about willful girls

I was neither bored, nor enthralled by this collection of stories, but each one left me thinking about something relevant to my life. I think most of the stories in this book tell girls it is ok to be differnt and it is especially ok to expect to achieve your dreams!

some stories are wonderful and some are boring

Some of the stories are beautifully written like The Transformations of Cindy R. and The Magic Bow. M. E. Kerr's story is also along the lines of the other two. All of them are very enjoyabel except for the one about the horse. This book can really help girls dealing with life's problems.

I read Stay True and loved it!

Though Stay True didn't give a confidence boost as promised, the stories were absolutely great and were very meaningful. Some were poignant and made you think, others were funny and suspenseful. I think that all teen girls should read this book. I read every story and loved them all.

it was great for a teenage girl like me

i really liked it, it was something I could relate to, and really cherish. I was sad after it ended
