BOOK BLAST: THE TRUTH: DIARY OF A GUTSY TWEEN BY BARBARA BECKER HOLSTEIN


Congratulations to Dee S., winner of the tour prize and to My Devotional Thoughts, the host winner.

Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Super Book Blast for The Truth, Diary of a Gutsy Tween by Barbara Becker Holstein, a YA (8 - 12 yrs) available now from Sky Pony Press. The Book Blast will take place on Wednesday, March 18, and no interviews or guest blogs are requested for this tour; however, the blurb, excerpt, and author bio will be provided. A PDF copy of the book is available for review in conjunction with a guest post or interview.

Barbara will be awarding $20 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour, and a $20 Amazon or B/N GC to a randomly drawn host.

"I hate Angela and I wish she would move away tomorrow!" "I get so worried when I hear my parents fighting at night." "My mother thinks my crush is silly. I know I am in love!" "I have so many questions about growing up. Who will answer them?" "I feel so awful when Jake makes fun of me." "When I grow up I going to remember how to have fun with my kids and never look away." Growing up is tough. Adults don't always understand you (even though they were once kids), and children today face increasing pressure to be, look, or act a certain way. Written in the voice of a girl on the cusp of becoming a teenager, The Truth provides young girls with an opportunity to see how a girl, who is in many ways like themselves, handles her toughest problems and most personal thoughts. Each new page brings forth a discussion to help girls handle everyday problems: How do you survive a bully? How do you handle a crush on a boy? What can you do about relentless teasing by your peers? What really matters as you grow older?

In a positive and supportive diary-entry format, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein encourages tween girls to carry the most precious parts of themselves into adulthood. A great book for mothers and daughters to read together, The Truth is aimed to improve communication, understanding, and self-esteem for young girls as they enter the rocky road of teenager-dom.

SBB: SECRETS, DIARY OF A GUTSY TEEN BY BARBARA BECKER HOLSTEIN


Congratulations to Debby K., winner of the tour prize and to Storm Goddess Book Reviews, the host winner. 

Goddess Fish Promotions is organizing a Virtual Book Blast Tour for SECRETS, DIARY OF A GUTSY TEEN by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, a Tween/MG fiction available February 10 from Sky Pony Press. The Book Blast Tour will take place on Monday, February 16. This tour will not include interviews or guest blogs; however, a blurb, excerpt and author bio will be provided to every host for inclusion on their blog. A PDF copy of the book is available for review.

The author will be awarding a $20 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour, and a $20 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn host.

Following in the footsteps of The Truth, Secrets: Diary of a Gutsy Teen begins as the thirteen-year-old protagonist makes a move with her family to a new town. She has grown up a lot over the past year—and has made a list of everything that’s important to her now that she doesn’t want to forget when she gets older. But now, as she enters her early teen years, she begins to write down the secrets she wants to keep—and the ones she has no one to tell about. From new school experiences to a new baby in the family to a new crush, this new teen finally feels empowered on making her own decisions with confidence and keeping those secrets she holds dearest for herself.

In a positive and supportive diary-entry format, Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein encourages tween and early teen girls to carry the most precious parts of themselves into adulthood. A great book for mothers and daughters to read together, Secrets is aimed to improve communication, understanding, and self-esteem for young girls as they enter the rocky road of teenager-dom.
