Girls Know Best is a unique series of books for both boys and girls to which budding young authors, ages 6 to 16, have contributed their stories and ideas, dreams and dilemmas, opinions and advice on just about everything they deal with in life. Young readers will both enjoy and benefit from the peer's-eye views of the world these books provide. Content has been compiled primarily from submissions to Boy and Girl Writer Contests sponsored by Beyond Words Publishing, Inc., Hillsboro, Oregon.The relatively recent growth of women's sports and the increasing popularity of women in sports have given young girls throughout the world greater interest in athletics and their own female sports heroes. Along with writings by girl athletes and interviews with famous women, young readers will find valuable information to prepare themselves -- bodies, minds, and spirits -- for their own athletic endeavors. Topics include fitness, nutrition, and attitude, with a chapter devoted to sports scholarships and careers.
