MAY CONTAIN SPOILER:
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 quote is by David Frost, he says "Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally." I like this quote because it reminds me that if you try too hard you will get distracted and lose sight of what comes naturally.
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.
