Girl Force.

Goldstein, Nikki. Girl Force.
Bloomsbury see St. Martins 2009 224p 14.99 978-1-59990-354-5 ms/hs This is a guide for teenage girls that focuses on health, beauty and self-esteem. It is based on the Ayurvedic philosophy, which divides people into three basic body types, and the theme of these three types is consistent throughout the book. At times the book seemed too “cute”, using words like “babelicious” and “balanced” without really defining them. The repetition of the term “Girl Force” was a bit overdone, as well as the constant mention of pop-culture icons. However, this book will appeal to some girls, and it provides some useful information, including yoga exercises, stress-reducing techniques, advocacy of natural foods, and the names and addresses of social agencies and hotlines.
