School Handbook for Girls

Timetables, homework piles, new classmates and the small daily decisions of school life all get practical treatment in this handbook written for girls. The advice covers organisation and study habits, making and keeping friends, handling nerves and building the sort of confidence that makes a new term easier. Checklists, tips and illustrations break the content into pieces a young reader can act on immediately, and the tone reads like a sensible older friend rather than a lecture. It works as a dip-in reference across a school year instead of a book to be finished in one go. Strengths of this title: • Organisation and study tips that translate directly into daily school routines • Sections on friendships, nerves and social confidence • Checklists and illustrated pages that keep the advice easy to use • Designed for dipping into as situations come up through the term Aimed at girls in primary and the early secondary years, and a sound back-to-school gift from parents or relatives; published by Miles Kelly and available through Boipoka.
