Beech Bank Girls: Making a Difference
If your daughter's bookshelf is full of Dork Diaries, My Little Pony or Rainbow Fairies, here's a book which is a lot more edifying!
Please don’t let the dated cover put you off! Based around a group of early-teenage girls who attend a church youth club, ‘Making a Difference’ follows the ups and downs of adolescence: friendships, fall-outs, boys, parents divorcing, body image, and so much more – all against the backdrop of faith and working out how we live as Christians through it all.
My daughter (9 when I read this to her) had previously loved ‘Beech Bank Girls: Every Girl Has a Story’, and I’m sure that ‘Making a Difference’ would be just as engaging for your tween daughters, granddaughters, nieces and goddaughters!
