After Separating, I realized things were becoming increasingly difficult for my daughter. I knew I needed help. So when I saw the title 'HELP!' I bought this book immediately. I have never been so impressed with a book. It asks the questions that kids have, but often are afraid (or unable) to ask and gives parents a way to answer - without too much information. HELP! assisted my daughter in breaking the silence with her therapist and to sort out some issues she had with her mother and me. It acts as a guidebook - informing children of some ways to speak up if they feel that their feelings are being squashed or if basic child/parent rules are being broken. HELP! even describes what some of those basic rules are. I'm actually purchasing one for my Ex-wife that she can read with our daughter. One of the best things that has come from this book is that my daughter now keeps a notebook and writes down questions for me in it, I respond to her and we bring those in to her therapists office. This approach lets us all know what important issues are on her mind, and how best to HELP! her through these difficult times. The best review though - I can't go more than a few days without being asked to read from the book.

Being a stepmother of two beautiful children that came from a not so beautiful divorce, I was determined to help them understand the divorce and my role in their family. This was a wonderful book that allowed me to sit down with my stepdaughter and read the book together. The book is broken down into sections ranging all the way from feelings of divorce, mom and dad dating again, to acquring a stepmother or stepfather. Each chapter opened up with a fictional "letter to the editor" type letter written by a children asking for advice. My stepdaughter enjoyed reading the letters out loud and I would respond with reading the chapters out loud. I would end each chapter by asking her how she related and what her thoughts and feelings were. This book allows a great opportunity for stepparents to interact with their stepchildren and provides some clarification to the child as to what divorce is all about.

This book is okay but I like the Legacy Press girls books better. They talk about more stuff than just boys and clothes and stuff. I like the books "God's Girls" and "The Christian Girl's Guide to Being Your Best" and the Pony Tail Girls series. You should read these books and you will get better answers about life.

Help has everything that you need to know from boredom ideas to help with divorces. You'll find yourself reading it anyway even if you don't have any brothers/sisters annoying all your friends when they call you. In some kid's magazines like Highlights and American Girl there are help sections at the back. Imagine a 50 or something paged book filled with that! You should buy this book, though it doesn't cover all issues enough. Hey, that's why there's More HELP!!!!

I think the book is for a younger girl than recommended. I bought this for a 12 year old, and it seemed aimed at a younger age.

More Help!, another so-called indispensable guide to life for girls, really isn't all it's hyped up to be. Though it does have some good advice for girls, I found that the situations in the book were not ones that girls face on an everyday basis. Some of the advice, particularly on sibilings, friends, and homework, is quite helpful for certain situations. But some, like the ones on freckles, teddy bears, and roller coasters, are quite unnecessary. This book is a take-it-or-leave-it, definitly not an indipensable book.

This book was a good read and the author gave very good advice, but throughout the book, I kept on getting the feeling that some of the girls could have found solutions to their problems just by talking to someone they trust. Also, there were a few problems where I thought the advice wasn't good. Still, most of the advice was good and some problems, like divorce, definitely deserved to be in the book. This is a good book, but not the greatest.

This book really teaches girls selfesteam and how to have confidence in themselves.They learn that they're not alone and how to deal with tuff situations. They also learn that if they think that they are completely alone the'll always have something to turn to,American Girl!
