Reviews
Write a review. It's a confronting read, but I think a necessary one to counter-balance the prevalent powers of commercialism. Erica Bartle, Girl with a Satchel blogThis book contains far more evidence and insight into the lives of young girls than I could have ever imagined [...] I urge you to read it, digest it and then use all of your strength to stop this before our children get hurt. Innocence should never be sold or abused. Amanda Foxon-Hill, Realize Beauty blog... the diversity of contributors offers a valuable range of personal and professional insights into an urgent issue and the book will be of great interest to concerned parents and interested readers alike. Jo Case, Bookseller & Publisher
