This empowerment book, which encourages girls to increase their self-confidence, is based on the authors' adult book on the same topic. Sandy Rustin, who also narrates the adult version, expertly gives personality to a text that could easily seem staid. Skilled in her craft, she creates a conversational yet educational tone while delivering tips to encourage self-confidence. Even pacing throughout the production makes it easier for young listeners to pay attention and engage with the information shared. Rustin's ability to adjust her timbre to the age of the speaker is apparent when she voices the real-life stories and scenarios. A.L.S.M. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

Drawing from their title for adults, The Confidence Code, TV news anchors and co-authors Kay and Shipman offer a handbook for confidence-building directed at girls. The authors discuss ways to override negative thought patterns through mindfulness techniques and urge readers to take risks, foster positive relationships, and to move forward after making mistakes. Quizzes, real-world challenges to grow confidence, and thought-provoking questions invite readers to apply the material to their own circumstances, while Lawson’s comic panels and cartoon spot art add humor and visual texture. Culled from their conversations with girls from different cultures and backgrounds nationwide, Kay and Shipman present real-life examples of individuals who have empowered themselves within their own schools and communities. Confidence, the authors suggest, comes not from being perfect, but from building a strong foundation of self-awareness, knowledge, and resilience—and it’s always a work in progress. Ages 8–12.
