--Nancy Redd, New York Times bestselling author of BODY DRAMA
"Every girl is amazing and this easy-to-follow guide helps girls finally believe it--and live it--for themselves! You're Amazing! is a must-read, interactive book for every girl and girl advocate who wants to bust past 'the supergirl dilemma' to become her super best self instead. This heartfelt book ultimately shows girls that they're not alone in the pressures they face and reveals how they can choose what they really want. It is both a revelation and a revolution!"
--Courtney Macavinta, founder of RespectRx.com and co-author of Respect: A Girl's Guide to Getting Respect & Dealing When Your Line Is Crossed
"I'm buying this book for every girl I know. Actually, make that every girl and woman I know. Claire Mysko pinpoints all the things that can erode self-confidence in this age group and then shows you what to do about them. You're Amazing! deals with adolescence with the same thoughtfulness and care that Mary Pipher's Reviving Ophelia did. Two words for this book: it's amazing."
--Hannah Seligson, author of New Girl on the Job: Advice from the Trenches
"If only every book for girls had a message like this one. Claire Mysko and Girls Inc. share an essential message of self-worth with smarts and savvy."
--Sarah Burningham, author of How to Raise Your Parents
