Reviews

Booklist
Invaluable to any adult stuggling to help a girl get through her teens
Sally Brampton, The Sunday Times Style magazine
If you have daughters, you need to read Odd Girl Out, by Rachel Simmons . . . Simmons gives techniques for navigating the world of Facebook and tween texting supported by real-life accounts - essential when almost 40% of young people report being cyberbullied. But be warned: the book will plunge you right back into a world a BFFs, sleepovers and bitching in the changing rooms
Susan Wellman, President of The Ophelia Project
This is the book we have been waiting for. It's a wake-up call to all of us who care deeply about girls' development. Simmons has given voice to the girls who struggle everyday with friendships. She has uncovered a hidden world of aggression that unfolds behind adults' backs
