Between the ages of 8 and 14, girls experience a major drop in confidence. Rebel Girls is on a mission to change that, by sharing the inside scoop on dealing with irritating body changes, totally understandable social anxiety, sticky friendship dilemmas, and a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming-all the while celebrating how incredible our bodies, minds, and communities can be. Rebel Girls Growing Up Powerful tackles the tough stuff-from pimples to depression to coping with the constant news cycle-all through the lens of empowerment.

Each chapter begins with an affirmation. In “My Brain is Powerful,” readers will learn how their minds learn and process information-to help them stay healthy and positive as they experience their own worries and mood swings. “I Can Create Community” explores the ins and outs of creating connections, making friends, and strengthening sisterhoods (even when it can be nerve-wracking).

With a pitch-perfect voice, tangible advice, and humorous graphic novel panels, Rebel Girls Growing Up Powerful will inspire girls to celebrate the messiness of puberty and be their most confident selves.
