All Rebel, all the time. The Rebel Girls Handbook is the ultimate ticket to trivia, activities, and more about 300+ extraordinary women featured across the bestselling Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls series.
Malala Yousafzai fights for girls' education around the world. . . and there's an asteroid named after her. Florence Nightingale was a nurse who saved lives during the Crimean War. . . and she had a pet owl named Athena. María Isabel Urrutia is a Colombian weightlifter. . . and the inspiration for a character in the film Encanto.
The Rebel Girls Handbook includes amazing facts and beautiful illustrations of Rebel Girls past and present, all packaged together in a fun, easy-to-flip-through format. Spotlights on the home countries and traits of trailblazing women let readers explore the Rebel universe like never before, while activities encourage them to join in and make the book their own.
Plus, find QR codes inside that unlock awesome bonus audio stories on the Rebel Girls app!
If you're familiar with any of the previous Rebel Girls books, you'll have an idea what to expect here. Rather than a few paragraphs for each character, though, it's been cut down to three-four bullet points, and this lets it fit a lot more women into the book.
Although it advertises activities, there are very few in evidence here. I did see QR codes but as I was reading on my tablet, I couldn't check them out - my reader couldn't distingish it on the screen. I look forward to trying a couple when the book is published.
This is a great entry to the series as the simpler format will be helpful for younger readers, and it will lead to people looking up more information on the featured ladies. Fantastic.
The Rebel Girls Handbook publishes on the 11th of October. I received a free copy and am giving an honest review.
