These girls are going from big fish in a small pond to tiny fish in a very large lake so the more knowledge they have to support themselves the more mentally healthy they will be! This book will be bought by adult family members who have a girl in their final year of primary school. These family members may be apprehensive for their girls and are nervous about implications of going to high school. It’s a different environment, lots of change, their social context more challenging, new people, from biggest in school to smallest, fitting in may seem harder.
