Sasha Smart: Short Stories for GirlsSasha Smart: Short Stories for Girls by Shermaine Perry-Knights
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is such a good book for 8-12 year olds. It is not easy being a girl of this age at school. This book has several short stories that show us how Sasha sees herself as inferior and not enough. But, the author tells these stories to show that Sasha is important and that each girl is more than enough. In a world where mean girls exist, this book is very much needed.
