Reader’s Annotation:
With obesity being a growing epidemic in today's society, many girls' self esteem suffer because they do not fit the archetype of "beauty." This book helps girls to learn how to make the most of the body one has.

Plot Summary:
This book is geared towards young girls. Rather than recommending diet and exercise regimes, this book is filled with advice and tips on how to feel confident and beautiful with the body that one has. It covers skincare, make-up, hair, clothing and the inner-self. It gives information on how to healthily look and feel better. It also gives great facts, such as that Marilyn Monroe was a size 14.

Evaluation:
This book fills a need of helping young girls feel confident with themselves rather than following fad diets and crazy exercise regimes.
