I'm not a teen anymore, but sometimes life blows you a hit and you feel like a 16-years-old-girl again. It was very insightful, beautiful, painful and fun to read this book. It's filled with different ideas from different girls, their photos, words, dreams, fears and hopes. ( ) "When asked, many will say that there are thousands of girls in the world. But they're wrong. There's one, and another, and another, and another..." So states one of the girls that responded to questionnaires and sent in photographs as part of Kate Engelbrecht's The Girl Project. The Girl Project aimed to produce a portrait of what it is to be a teenage girl in the US today, and Please Read (if at all possible) is the result. This collection of photographs and responses to Engelbrecht's survey--with those responses still in their authors' handwriting--portrays the commonalities in the experience of young women while highlighting their uniqueness. The depth with which the contributors describe their hopes, fears, and ideas of what is good and bad about themselves and teenagedom is juxtaposed with humor (such as the number of times "spiders" comes up as a fear) that many teenage girls will identify with. All in all, Please Read will show middle and high school girls that they are not only not alone, but that the things that make them unique are important as well. In text and images, teenage girls reflect on their anxieties, hopes and fears, interests, likes and dislikes, self-worth, values and more. The book touches upon such subjects as body image, dating, friendships, media stereotypes, the need for belonging, and school. Celebratory, poignant, sad, funny, shocking, painfully honest, insightful, and revealing. I can't imagine any teenage girl not wanting to look at this book.

"In 2007 Kate Engelbrecht began sending cameras and questionnaires to teenage girls across the country. She asked them to use the camera to communicate their view of themselves and the world around them .. Eventually, nearly 5,000 girls between the ages of 13 and 18 took part in the project ... It is an account of teenage girlhood, experienced and communicated as only teenage girls know and understand"--Prelims. The texts are reproduced from the girls' handwritten entries.
