Monthly Web Site: Girlslife.com
 This is a great Web site that is geared to girls that are ten to fifteen years old. It is based on the GL (Girls Life) magazine. There are a lot of awesome things to do on this Web site. 

 You can take trivia tests on your favorite stars and movies, put your skills to the test and take fun, interactive quizzes, which are really cool. You can also read short stories and poems that girls like you have written and then sent them into Girls Life and now they are published. 

 Another really cool thing you can do on this Web site is, "Find Your Perfect Pen Pals." There is a step by step guideline that shows you how to sign up. You actually get to make five new friends that live in different places throughout the U.S.; and they become your pen pals! Girlslife.com is a fun place to be a girl! Enjoy!

What's New?
 I just got done reading a book called, The Prophecy of the Stones. It is written by a girl that is fifteen years old! Her name is Flavia Bujor. She is French and lives in Paris, France. This is her first novel. She is a great author. The book is about three teenage girls, known as the Stones of Prophecy. They're drawn to a land called Fairytale, where they and a man called the Nameless One, seek Oonagh, a magical creature who explains their role in a battle between Good and Evil. This is an awesome book for advanced readers.
