Mayim Bialik, Jeopardy! host and star of The Big Bang Theory, puts
her Ph.D. to work as she talks to teens about the science of growing up
and getting ahead. A must-have book for all teenage girls.
Growing up as a girl in today's world is no easy task. Juggling family,
friends, romantic relationships, social interests and school...sometimes
it feels like you might need to be a superhero to get through it all!
But really, all you need is little information.
Want to know why your stomach does a flip-flop when you run into your
crush in the hallway? Or how the food you put in your body now will
affect you in the future? What about the best ways to stop freaking out
about your next math test?
Using scientific facts, personal anecdotes, and wisdom gained from the
world around us, Mayim Bialik, the star of The Big Bang Theory, shares
what she has learned from her life and her many years studying
neuroscience to tell you how you grow from a girl to a woman
biologically, psychologically and sociologically.
And as an added bonus, Girling Up is chock-full of charts, graphs and
illustrations -- all designed in a soft gray to set them apart from the
main text and make them easy to find and read.
Want to be strong? Want to be smart? Want to be spectacular? You can!
