A Smart Girl's Guide: Knowing What to Say: Finding the Words to Fit Any Situation (American Girl® Wellbeing) Review: Daughter read it in less than an hour.. - My sweet pre-teen has social anxiety and has been really struggling with friendships at school. We don't have insurance right now so counseling isn't an option (although she is on low dose Prozac from her pediatrician). Anyway, she came to me the other night in tears about how paralyzing it has been around girls in her school and how she feels so hopeless and doesn't know what to do. SO I jumped on desertcart and bought this book and 2 others to try to help her. When the arrived, she was embarrassed as hell and didn't want to read them. I told her to go in her room, shut the door, and just take a look and if she truly thought they were worthless, we could send them back. She came out about two hours later and this book had been her favorite one. She was really excited at the ideas the book gave her on things to say in really specific situations. Not just to her friends, but to teachers and other adults too. They help with bullying situations (which, thank God, we haven't encountered yet except for some passive aggressive BS) and with just small talk in the hallway with friends or how to reply to unexpected snark. She has since put a few of these in her mind back and she said it really takes the pressure off trying to come up with the "right" thing to say. Is it a immediate and perfect answer to kids who are shy/social anxiety. No. But for her, it seemed to be full of great starting points that simply made the difference between having some small positive interactions and being completely silent and disappearing into the wallpaper. (For the record, I am not a fan of the whole American Girl doll line - I think they are pretentious - But I love both this book and The American Girl Body Book....both great for every girl's bookshelf.) Review: Helpful book for young girls - 9 year old Granddaughter likes it and recommends it. She does not say that often. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #16,332 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Children's Books on Peer Pressure (Books) #186 in Children's Self-Esteem Books #695 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,803) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.4 x 9.5 inches | | Grade level | Preschool - 2 | | ISBN-10 | 1683370759 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1683370758 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | American Girl | | Print length | 120 pages | | Publication date | February 19, 2018 | | Publisher | American Girl Publishing | | Reading age | 9 - 11 years, from customers | ## Images ![A Smart Girl's Guide: Knowing What to Say: Finding the Words to Fit Any Situa... - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DybvgoS+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Daughter read it in less than an hour.. *by A***N on September 8, 2013* My sweet pre-teen has social anxiety and has been really struggling with friendships at school. We don't have insurance right now so counseling isn't an option (although she is on low dose Prozac from her pediatrician). Anyway, she came to me the other night in tears about how paralyzing it has been around girls in her school and how she feels so hopeless and doesn't know what to do.

She does not say that often. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sooooooo Helpful (I Am Amazing) *by K***N on December 29, 2013* This book helped me so much w all my problems! It has everything we girls need to say when something happens. I am in the fifth grade (so many problems w our grade) so this got me through everything, as u can imagine.... Has everything from thanking people politely to ca-raw-zay relatives and knowing how to, um, face them to comforting a friend when her pet dies to standing up to bullies. (Yeesh, sorry, that was kind of a long sentence before). I think all girls should have this book. I don't know about y'all (yes, I'm talking 2 u, the reader of this) but they reeeeeally need to make a American BOYS. I am serious! Because no offense boys reading this, but y'all dudes really need some help... yeah, yeah, I am sorry. Ooookay. I kinda got off topic maybe!? Anyway, back talking about the book, it works like a charm. I use these clever comebacks and it really shuts those cruel bullies DOWN. Oh, snap. So, yeah, this book is good for girls ages 6- 101 years old. No, really, almost anyone can use it. So people of all ages reading this, I am very sorry that this review is sooo long. I'm not really. You may think I'm this young, book-reviewing, speaks-her-mind freak. But I'm not, don't worry. I am happy 2 share my review w u because it was such a great book. But, i kind of have 2 go bc Counting Stars, my fave song is playing on th- i mean, it is, um, bedtime. So, until next time------- Goodnight! - Olivia Harmon aka: Liv P.S: My name is not James Harmon. That is my dad, and this review is under his account because APPARENTLY i can't GET my OWN account bc MAYBE i am too YOUNG. Whatev. I am sort of mad. No, really mad. Anyway, that was info just incase you were wondering why i wasn't the same person as it says posted by ## Frequently Bought Together - A Smart Girl's Guide: Knowing What to Say: Finding the Words to Fit Any Situation (American Girl® Wellbeing) - A Smart Girl's Guide: Friendship Troubles: Dealing with fights, being left out & the whole popularity thing (American Girl® Wellbeing) - A Smart Girl's Guide: Drama, Rumors & Secrets: Staying True to Yourself in Changing Times (American Girl® Wellbeing) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/64767703-a-smart-girls-guide-knowing-what-to-say-finding-words](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/64767703-a-smart-girls-guide-knowing-what-to-say-finding-words) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
