This is a devotional book for girls my age. The book is based on the verse in Philippians 4:8, that says… “ Finally, brothers, Whatever is true, Whatever is noble, Whatever is right, Whatever is pure, Whatever is lovely, Whatever is admirable—-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy— think about such things.” It covers a variety of topics, and issues that most teen girls deal with, like forgiveness, youth, responsibility, babysitting, and honor.

One of my favorite topics was “A little R.E.S.P.E.C.T.”
I like how much it helped me understand things in life a little better. I think they really should not have some words, or subjects that some kids like me, who are younger teens, are still uncomfortable with hearing and using, but other than that I really liked the book, “Whatever”.

The author did a great job a writing it in a way kids will understand. She wrote this book for girls and for girls 11-17. It is a great book for these ages, and I would recommend it to other tweens and teens. I know it will be as helpful to them as it was to me.

Rated PG: The book still uses words some kids are uncomfortable with.
