Alexandra and Luisa discuss It's A Girl Thing by Lisa Clark, author of Think Pink, Beauty*licious and other wonderful books. Check out Pink World.
A: I was just reading ‘It’s A Girl Thing’ by Lisa Clark.
L: Yes, me too. Getting this book was among the wonderful perks of attending Queen of Teen.
A: I’ve been in a limo with Lisa Clark, you know, in case you forgot…
L: Really? You've only told me five hundred times. Hee hee - only kidding (and I'm just jealous - Lisa Clark's amazing!) Anyway! Back to the book! :) It's subtitled 'everything you need to know about being a girl' and it covers various worries that girls might have about their bodies as they grow up. I thought it was brilliant! What did you think?
A: The book is so pretty, loads of fabulous pictures to go with all the interesting and scary girlie facts. Well, they’re not really scary the way Lisa writes them, are they? She makes spots* and bra shopping sound like fun.
L: I agree. The book's gorgeous, and written in such a friendly way that it feels like a chat with a lovely older sister. I especially loved its emphasis on not being embarrassed about having questions. And there was a chapter about boys, too. All good stuff. So, would you recommend it?
A: I would! For any girls really - even if you know some of what’s in it already there are a lot of good topics covered. It’s also brilliant for anyone who doesn’t know the right person to ask or thinks they can’t ask certain things.
L: Great! It's official, then: this book is recommended!
A: Does that mean we can go back to talking about being in a limo…
L: Of course. So tell me, were you in a limo with any nominees for Queen of Teen...? <CUT!!>
(*Alexandra would like to thank Lisa for reminding her not to squeeze spots…)




Thank you so much, lovely ladies - glad you loved it, Lola and I think you fabu Chicklish are pretty awesome too!

REVIEW BY SOPHIE:
OK my book I'd like to review is called 'It's a Girl Thing' by Lisa Clark. It helped me a lot actually cos before I didn't know that much about being a girl, like the changes, the boys and so on! So I thought I'd give a try! Lisa or Lola really helped me understand what was going on in my bod - I discovered hair
in places unknown! And body odour, periods and mood changes and bra sizes - everything a girl has to know someday! I'd recommend this book for 11-14's cos that's proably when you'd start it or maybe younger! I thought it was a fab
book and I hope everyone understands girl world love from ur fellow
chicklish girl sophie XXXX
THANK YOU, SOPHIE!
