Making friends, joining activities, and meeting new people can be nerve-racking! This guidebook is full of tried-and-true advice for striking up a conversation, recovering from an embarrassing moment, giving a class presentation without freaking out—and so much more.

As you grow up, you’ll be presented with all kinds of exciting opportunities: making friends, discovering what you love to do, and learning new things. But sometimes these joyful milestones come with challenges.

Certain social situations can feel like navigating a maze. How do you strike up a conversation with someone new at school or camp? What should you do when you see someone being bullied? How do you help a friend who is going through a tough time? Through quizzes, advice from experts, and stories from real girls, you’ll learn exactly what to do and say when . . .

- You’re the new kid at school, camp, science club—you name it!
- You have a super embarrassing moment
- You want to try something different, like auditioning for the school play
- You hurt someone’s feelings and want to apologize
- And more!

With this book, you’ll feel ready to handle whatever comes your way!
