What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's conflicts are centered on typical pre-teen concerns: parental restrictions, peer rivalries, and friendship dynamics. The approach is entirely secular and humorous. Conflict with parents is portrayed from the teen's point of view (parents as "ogres") but is handled with levity. The resolution is hopeful and empowering, as the girls prove their competence and earn a new level of respect.
