Here’s what readers are saying about Girls Succeed!
This is a wonderful book. It contains the stories of several women in many walks of life who have pursued their dreams and succeeded in reaching them… I found it inspiring and empowering. Thanks, Ms. Rose—Review by Rochelle Weber, Roses and Thorns Reviews
This book is well written and very informative. If you have a dream you don't think you'll be able to attain I suggest you have a look at this book. It will certainly give you inspiration for your own goals.—Review by Sue Pernz
I really loved this book because it proves that if girls put their mind to it, we can accomplish anything! Each inspiring story provides an amazing quote. My favorite inspirational story is Mackenzie Woodring, because even after sustaining her injuries and losing her sister she still managed to come back and achieve her dream. I recommend this book for girls who need a little inspiration. This book reminded me of what it means to be a girl. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 and up.---Review by Arianna, age 12 years, 5 Girls Reviews
