Perfect book for preteens girls. Wonderful strategies for establishing healthy friendships and how to speak up for oneself.
Thank you #NetGalley, #RebelGirls, #SaraJinLi, #CamilaRivera and #RebelGirlsAllThingsFriendship for the arc for my honest opinion.

This is a really comprehensive book about friendship that discusses this topic in a friendly and approachable manner. My daughter enjoyed reading this book. She has always loved this series and this was a great addition that has come at a great time for her as she approaches secondary school.

This is basically a manual of how to deal with friends as a female preteen. It also discusses how to make good friends. This is a really good book to help with girl drama. Parents should be the ones to monitor this book; it should not be in schools.

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.

This book is the perfect book to gift to a young girl in your life who is entering puberty or middle school (especially during the age where social media is king). Unfortunately, these will be challenging times for girls. But this book might just make things a little easier. I certainly wish this book was around when I was in middle school. It would've come in handy. I highly recommend this book!

I post many NetGalley ARC books on Instagram, but I also enjoy talking about previously released books that I love. With the exception of NetGalley books, I enjoy both listening to and reading all the books I read.

Oh my goodness this is such a cute little book. I think it is ideal for tweens who are looking to understand what friendship is and to help them navigate their current friendships. I would specially see this as being helpful to a child who is having friendship issues. I think this will help guide and make decisions on the friendship, and know she is not alone with her issues.

I'll definitely be recommending it to my daughter once she's a little older. Navigating friendship is hard, and children can be mean. This book helps set your child up for friendships to come.

I wish this book had been around 10 years ago when I was a preteen/teenager. The advice in this was so comforting and I liked that they didn't shy away from tougher topics such as friendship breakups and setting boundaries. The illustrations as always were absolutely beautiful and I loved how clearly the information was presented and the organization of the chapters.

Overall this was a great addition to the Growing Up Powerful series and I really wish my younger self would have had access to a book like this!

The subtitle of this book, A Guide to Celebrating Old Friends, Making New Ones, and Navigating Sticky Social Situations, gives a perfect insight into what will be found in these pages. Once again, the folks at Rebel Girls are keyed into a topic that is of great concern to their audience. 

Friendships are a source of great joy but also of unhappiness and dissension at times. What to do? Here is lots of helpful advice without condescension. 

In these pages are chapters entitled What Makes a Good Friend; How to Make Friends; Being a Good Friend; Different Types of Friendships; When the Road Gets Rocky; and Mourning A Friendship. Within each chapter are a number of sections. For example, the Rocky chapter talks about Asking for Help and How to Apologize as just two topics.

This brightly illustrated title is filled with the authors’ (who are good friends) reflections and thoughts. There are quizzes, questions and answers and more throughout the text.

This book is a good resource for kids who are entering the tween years. Give it to a girl you know. They just may thank you.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for this title. All opinions are my own.

I really appreciate the Rebel Girls series: I have been looking for books that are engaging for the young girls I work with. The girls I’m working with are struggling with friendships. I’m hoping this will be a game changer for them.

AHHH!!! Where was this book back in my day? 10-12-year-old Amy could have REALLY used this great book when she was going through her first "friendship breakup." If nothing else, it would have made her felt seen, and not so alone. I love that All Things Friendship helps young women foster healthy relationships, explains toxic females, and gives use permission to grieve the ending of a platonic relationship. I will definitely be adding this book to my middle school classroom library, and encouraging each girl to take her time to read it. (Come to think of it, I better get multiple copies!)
Thank you, again, to Rebel Girls for recognizing a need and filling it. In so.many.ways.!
Thank you to NetGalley and Rebel Girls for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinions.

A wonderful book filled with practical advice, and expert tips, this book is a treasure trove for young readers. From making new friends to navigating conflicts and celebrating bonds, the author skillfully covers every aspect. The inclusion of quizzes and real-life stories adds an engaging touch, making it a must-read for those seeking wisdom in the realm of friendships.

This is well well-designed and is a fun guidebook. It is designed to help make friends and gives advice for when friends need a little extra help in tough times. This is perfect for girls, but the message is true for anyone who is seeking advice on kindness to others and friendship. When we have friends we laugh and we cry with them. We make mistakes and we learn from each other. Sometimes things don't work out and sometimes having friends is complicated. There are times when having friends is the best thing and something we cherish forever. This book is a great friendship guide, but it can also help us show kindness. There are tips and quizzes along with some advice "from girls around the world" as well as their stories. If you have wondered how to start a conversation with someone or wanted tips about talking about your feelings this book gives some ideas.

Rebel Girls, you are doing it again and again! You are making sure the world has those books that were never there before. This one is yet another awesome addition to the Rebel Girls bookshelf, this is a common-sense-girl-talk for pre-teens, and this time it is all about friendships. Yup, those don’t come easy, but at least there is now a validating book that is filled with the voice of reason and sound advice.

The rebel girls series is a gift to humanity. Rebel Girls All Things Friendship gives young people the opportunity to learn more about different types of friends they may have and how relationships may evolve over time. It is mature, however very digestible for the young consumer. It will be a great tool as my child grows to help them learn more about friendship and cope with changes in friendships which can be confusing.

This is a good alternative to the now outdated American Girl books about growing up and friendship. Like the Money book from the Rebel Girls series, this is primarily text with some cute illustrations thrown in.

It's written by two best friends and includes an introduction from the both of them, along with a venn diagram showing their similarities and differences.

This book includes tips on making friends, knowing yourself, fun activities, and even some quizzes.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. I will purchase for my library.

This was my first time reading a Rebel Girls book and I was not expecting to love it as much as I did. This book would have been so good for me to read when I was a little kid and I’m so happy today’s girls will get to read books like this.

This is the book EVERYBODY needs. We think we are too mature and know everything when it comes to people specially when they are our friends. But do we really know them and wonder what went wrong when things go wrong?

This book is so subtle when it talks with you about friends and friendships; why it is important to respect your boundaries and respect others too.

The book in its different chapters describes so well the different scenarios and situations that would come up in everyone’s life and gives certain insights on how to deal with them.

I just love the book and I as an adult have gained so much from this book.

Definitely a must keep. Read and reread it with the youngsters.

Thank you, Rebel Girls, for the advance reading copy.

This book made me feel nostalgic for the books and magazines I loved as a preteen/teen girl. The quizzes especially! While my own daughter is still a bit younger than the target audience there are definitely some things in here that would be helpful for me as a parent to use to guide her as she is making new friends, and as she navigates those friendships. When she is a bit older this is absolutely something I would give to her!

I like the variety in the way information is presented, the different activities included, and the illustrations as well!
