Please read (if at all possible) : the Girl Project / by Kate Engelbrecht. - New York : Universe, 2011. - 1 volume (unpaged); colour illustrations; 22 cm.

This empowering volume introduces the reader to an insider's view of teenage girlhood. Through their participation in The Girl Project - created in 2007 by Kate Engelbrecht - teenage girls contributed intimate, heartwarming, diarylike text entries and photographs that capture their personal and private moments. To date, over 5,000 girls between the ages of 13 and 18 have sent in photographs, along with anonymously completed questionnaires that communicate their view of themselves and the world around them. The girls touch upon universal issues, such as their struggles with self-confidence and body image, relationships with peers and family, and their dissatisfaction with how they are presented by the media and in popular culture. Teen readers will be rewarded with a wonderful set of sincere, deep messages and the reassurance that they are not alone.
