113 things to do by 13

By Zoe Jacobson, Age 13, Literary Editor of TweenTribune

This book, written by the 14-year-old Brittany Macleod, is brilliant. It lists many things that any preteen or teen would want to do, including: best truth or dares, best makeup techniques, best hairdos, how to add fluff to your room and the newest, coolest songs. I bookmarked the best ideas.

But wait, there's more: How to fix your hair and play loads of games, celebrity confessions, the perfect pranks, great songs, how to do a facial mask, even the best food for a food fight. Even tips on how to have the perfect sleepover ever can be found here.

As a teenager, I wasn't prepared to like this book. I was afraid it was just some book written by some mother who lists stuff her lame children liked to do — like play with Play-Doh they made themselves. But I really loved this because it is different - it's written by one of us.

I think anyone can read this book — no matter what age — because all of us girls have a part in us that still believes in princesses and unicorns. Well, maybe not, but any girl could enjoy this book. It's a must read for any girl, no matter what age.
