"Good Girl" Giveaway
**********Congratulations to our winners! Lisa, Florida Abby, Virginia Jasmin, California *winners were notified via email ********** "Hi, I’m Katani Summers and I’m in seventh grade in Ms. Rodriguez's homeroom. I’m here to ask you a question. Has anybody ever made a joke about you and then said, 'Just kidding!' … only it wasn't a funny joke at all—it was something that hurt? If so, raise your hand." This excerpt of BSG book #10, Just Kidding, sounds all too familiar to girls just like the Beacon Street Girls, doesn't it? Just Kidding is about how to deal with bullying at school and was written with the help of our friend Rachel Simmons. In 2002, Rachel wrote a best-selling book for grown-ups called Odd Girl Out, which describes some of the tough situations many girls face every day with bullies at school. Now, Rachel has a new book called The Curse of the Good Girl. This book focuses on the pressure many girls feel to be nice, polite, modest, and selfless ALL THE TIME. Talking to a parent about these kinds of situations can help you feel better about them, so Club BSG has put together a very special giveaway for you and your mom, dad, or an adult you trust. For you: A copy of Just Kidding autographed by Annie Bryant! Plus, we're also including a Happy Lucky Thingy Big Pillow—one side is a happy face and the other is a sad face. It's perfect for expressing whatever your mood is each day. For your parent: A copy of The Curse of the Good Girl autographed by Rachel Simmons. To enter, send us your first and last name, mailing address, email address, and parent email address along with your answer to this question: Have you ever felt pressure to be a "good girl" all the time and never make mistakes? a. Yes, that's exactly how I feel all the time! b. No, I don't feel any pressure. I'm all me, all the time! c. I don't know, maybe sometimes I do.
