I like the series and this is a nice addition, with more contributors, hence there is something for everyone.

A number of pages were still "intentionally left blank" in this review copy but you get the idea of what they will be. This isn't my favourite of the Rebel series, there's too many big walls of text for my brain, but I adore the scrapbooking feel and overall message.

Wow this book is a treasure trove of love and support. What a wonderful read. I especially enjoyed just dipping in and out of it, choosing a letter at random to pick me up. My daughter who is 11 has also enjoyed reading it - we have shared our favourite letters with each other as we’ve read the book.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

As a diehard feminist, I loved this book. This book helps young girls see that they are just as strong and capable as any man. And this is one of the most important life lessons young girls can learn. I highly recommend this book and I wish I could give it more stars!!!

A beautiful book sharing words of wisdom from a number of truly incredible women.

Alongside tales from a number of women, some well known, some less so this book oozes positivity about what it means to be a woman.

More than 125 extraordinary teens and women share their advice, experiences, and the secrets of their success-in their own words. Through letters, poems, essays, self-portraits, and more, the authors tackle topics like overcoming obstacles, discovering your passion, and dreaming big.

I love stories written by women for other women. This collection is thorough and diverse and I appreciate the care that went into making it.

The latest book from Rebel Girl, Dear Rebels, is a collection of personal letters and stories to read rather than the mini-biographies that the other books contain. Possibly aimed at a slightly older audience to the previous book, this is a nice addition for someone who has grown up with the Rebel Girls series.

We sell all the Rebel girls books in the bookstore I work at, and they are a great hit.
The concept just works and it is a great way to familiarise audiences with different (historical) figures who make an impact. Keep it going!

Talk about a book that is empowering, heartfelt, and unapologetically bold - Rebel Girls does it again! This book is for anyone seeking inspiration, courage, and a reminder that rebellion can lead to remarkable change.

In Dear Rebel, more than 145 extraordinary teens and women come together to uplift the intimate moments that define a girl’s journey of discovery, confidence, and self. Through letters, poems, essays, and self-portraits, they share their advice, experiences, and the secrets of their success, in their own words.

The magic lies in the diversity of voices. From actresses to activists, these trailblazing women inspire all readers to try new things, face their fears, and be unapologetically themselves. As you turn the pages, you’ll be reminded that each contribution is a beacon of sisterhood, resilience, and hope.

The scannable QR codes sprinkled throughout the book unlock bonus audio stories in the Rebel Girls App, which add an immersive layer to the reading experience. Whatever your age, this book invites you to embrace your inner rebel, dream big, and change the world.

Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for a temporary e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Another amazing title from the Rebel Girls series - I really do love these books!

This one brings together a diverse and amazing group of teens and women who share their experiences and advice with the reader. These letters, poems and essays are from people who are not necessarily well known and famous, but who all have an incredible life and experience to share with the younger generation.

I love the way these books are put together with a range of great illustrations. This is another fab addition to the Rebel Girl series!

Great concept and I would have loved to read such a book when I was in the target age group! I think this will resonate a lot with younger audiences. Loved the format.

This wonderful book is filled to the brim with encouragement and empowerment that young rebels need to grow into strong, adult rebels.

This is a well put together and inspiring group of letters, poems and essays by some ladies that aren't necessarily well known but have lived incredible lives. The format is well thought out with a mix of pictures as well as the writing. The colours are bright and engaging and this is just the sort of thing I would like my children to read and take advice from for their futures

Inspiring Collection::: Very Positive::: Nice range of topics
However, it did become a little repetitive and long ...but there is also 125 women contributing

Thank you Rebel Girls and Netgalley for the ARC e-book

If I had a daughter, I'd share these with her. I could see this also being useful as a creative writing exercise, to write letters to the young girls and women we want to reach, or even to a younger self. Thank you for the ARC! Motivational reading.

The letters that were in the ARC were fun and interesting to read but there seemed like there was a lot missing. I think that's the nature of this ARC so I still think it was a good and worthwhile read overall, but there was a lot of skipping in the meantime.

I read this in 2023 and enjoyed it.

Congratulations to the author and thanks to the publisher for the copy!
