This book was free from Edelweiss + Read Now. I read this
book because it seemed like a fun read, and I picked it when I had been reading
a lot of intense and heavy books. I had read the book Pippa Park: Raises Her
Game was also by Erin Yun, and I really enjoyed it. This is a tough book to review,
so I will talk about the back cover and how the activities inside relate to
them. I wish I had a journal like this when I was younger because it was a mix of
fun and questions that really made you think.
Me, Myself & I
This book was a great way for a young person to explore all
aspects of their personality. From quizzes to help you get to know yourself
better to activity pages where you could post photos. One of my favorite sections on getting to
know yourself was the spaces where you got to write an answer to a specific
question, such as, how do you see yourself. I feel for a young person reading
this book, you could learn a lot and really think. Being a fan of music, one of
my favorite pages was the playlist page.
Friends & Family
These were fun sections because if you had read the book
Pippa Park Raises Her Game, you could see which character would be your friend.
There were also pages where you could post photos and talk about the adventures
you had as a group. I thought it would be fun to look back on years from now
and see where you started and how you changed. The family sections were great
because there was a question that asked how family members see you, so you
could see if it was different than how you see yourself. There were also sections about family
adventures.
School & Home Life
There wasn’t much on school and home life. Most of it was
questions like what your favorite and least subject in school is. I think it’s
important that young people think about these because it might guide them to a
job in the future. Homelife was a lot of the same as school life, only it was
more about what chores you did at home.
Likes & Dislikes
Everyone, even kids, has likes and dislikes. This was the
perfect way for them to really think about what they like, and what they don’t
like. One of my favorite things was the fact that the book gave you a list, but
it was a comprehensive list, so you could either fill it or not fill the whole thing.
Goals for the future
This book ends with goals for the future. I thought this was
lovely because there was an area to write about what you wanted to do and add
any goals you have. One of my favorite sections was the letter to my future
self at the end of the book.
