My DD really enjoyed the "smart girls guide to.." series. There are quite a few, like guide to gossip, guide to awkward situations, guide to friendship. They are geared to a younger audience so more to the tween age (I think she read them when she was 9), but it was comforting ot her to have a cheery book making her feel like she had tools to confront a variety of situations (which she didn't actually enounter much, but she's a sensitive kid).


I’ve gotten quite a few of them at the Fairfax library book sales over the years. DD (12) will pull them off her shelf to look through now and then. She leaves them piled by her bed and it gives me a heads up that something might be bugging her.

Untangled and Queen Bees but would also look into other more spiritual outlets and get her into other activities or book club with different girls known for being kind. Different groups of friends is the key!!

No book will be able to help navigate the awful mean girl world. It's mutating constantly. She needs a someone to talk to and explain why this crap happens.

Bible-thumpers are the worst for being mean.
