How do you talk to a girl? There are grown men who still do not know the answer to this question, but the nine-year-old author of this book is ready to tell you. Some of his advice is right on, such as "To get a girl to like you, talk to her and get to know her." Some advice should be true, but often is not, such as "Girls always like smart boys." Some advice is just plain cute, such as "Your mom likes you to be clean and she is a girl." If you are an elementary school boy, this book's advice might help you catch a girl, but the author cautions readers to aim only for getting her to like you. Love, he says, should come later like in middle school. For other readers, this book is just plain cute. The author knows more than his years would lead you to suspect. As an advice book for older kids, it probably will not work, but for younger kids (or older ones who want a smile) it is a sweet gift. One piece of advice that would work for all ages? "Whatever happens, don't let it make you crazy." Reviewer: Heather Robertson Mason
