The Girls' Book of Love

February 1, 2003
Gr 6 Up-This companion to The Girls' Book of Friendship (2001) and The Girls' Book of Wisdom (1999, both Little, Brown) deals with finding true love and keeping it strong. The quotes come from both male and female celebrities and dignitaries, while the stories are by unknown writers. Good, interesting "Fascinating Facts" end each chapter. Readers will enjoy the sage advice and sigh at the bliss recounted as they are guided through all stages of love, from the first stirrings of a crush to a breakup, and they will return to these pages when they are looking for inspiration or comfort. Although nothing new is presented, this well-put-together collection would make a nice pick-me-up.-Elaine Baran Black, Gwinnett County Public Library, Lawrenceville, GA
