Informing and Empowering Young Ladies Through Literature.
"I had fun at the book club meeting because we could talk about what we thought about the book and hear what other girls thought too." Shantell, age 9
The Bringing Books Back book club was developed by the young ladies of Girls Rule! for 'tween girls ages 7 - 14.
The purpose of the book club is to promote literacy amongst 'tweens girls while providing a great way for them to socialize and discuss their favorite books!
“Possessing good manners helps children build confidence, increase self-esteem, improve communication skills, make friends, and create a positive impression on others.”

To Kill a Mockingbird:
AN EXCITING, FUNNY, MYSTERIOUS STORY WITH A SHOCKING ENDING!
Book Review by Miora B. (12 yrs)
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is one of my FAV books right now! I picked up the book and could not put it down. It is so exciting! It's a book about a girl around my age, who finds herself in the middle of a huge mystery that has hit the southern town she lives in. I felt happy, sad, laughed out loud and had so many emotions while reading this book. It is an exciting, funny and mysterious story with a shocking ending!
