Just in time for the school year, we've got new copies of some of the American Girl advice books. These are really great books, and I'm very glad to have them. As a bonus, the nonfiction books don't actually advertise for American Girl at all, which makes it much easier to review them with a clear conscience.
School Rules! tips, tricks, shortcuts, and secrets to make you a super student
American Girl nonfiction/advice books
Emma MacLaren Henke, illustrated by Stacy Peterson
ISBN: 9781609587437
A generalized preparatory handbook of habits, with a few "quizzes" to show basic tendencies.
This book is a very straightforward school prep guide. It addresses mental and physical habits to drop and to pick up, talks about procrastination and perfectionism, about the value of appearances vs content, and gives information about study habits and how to best learn new topics. It also talks about how to request help when needed, and how to handle the stress when projects or topics are difficult to master.
Basic, clear, straightforward, and science-based. An excellent book that balances excitement about school and learning with clear reassuring facts and advice.
