PERFECT Magazine for 7-12 Year Old Girls!!!
By Mom of a subscriber
My 11-year-old daughter has been a subscriber for about 1 ½ years and absolutely adores Discovery Girls. She reads it cover to cover the day it arrives in the mail. It provides a great mix of articles about issues that affect the 7-12 age group as well as fashion tips, celebrity interviews, quizzes and more - all the things the girls are looking for in a magazine! The readers provide much of the content for the magazine so it is truly a forum for girls to express themselves as well as an opportunity to see that other girls are having the same experiences. As a parent, I like the magazine because it is completely appropriate for the "tween" girl - great content in the articles (real topics about real issues), limited advertising and the "models" are readers who are chosen by their answers on a questionnaire, not by the way they look. It's nice for girls who are beginning to worry about body image to be able to see normal girls just like them in the pages of a national magazine. I would definitely recommend this magazine to anyone who knows a girl in the 7-12 age range!

Reasons Why You Will LOVE Discovery Girls
By A Customer
1. They come to your state and may choose you to be in the magazine, which is VERY exciting!
2. It talks just enough about boys and crushes to keep you satisfied and clued in, and it doesn't go overboard trying to keep guys in or out of the magazine.
3. The beauty section talks about natural things, like hair care and acne, as oppose to "shaping your eyebrows" and "getting a fake tan."
4. The fashion section advertises cute clothes and accessories that are affordable and that you'll actually wear. Some other magazines were advertising how these ugly bright tights are going to be "hot" this year (and at pretty expensive stores,may I add).
5. Tons of quizzes! And not quizzes like, "Do You Know How to Get Your Guy?", but, "Are You Pop Star Material?" and, "Will You Survive Camp?"
6. Lots of cool contests, like describing your ultimate birthday party!
7. The girls they have in the magazines are girls that you really can relate to and don't look they've been on an extreme crash diet for two years. Also, they aren't wearing clothes with plunging necklines, super-short minis, leather jackets, and sequined bras.
8. The magazine has debates on subjects like, "Are school uniforms a good idea?" And they publish both sides of the argument!

I hope you love Discovery Girls as much as I have!

Great For Teen Girls
By THall
I am a media specialist at public school. I am in charge of ordering various media including magazines for our library. Discovery Girls was first sent to me as a sample. Upon reviewing the contents I quickly decided this was a keeper and ordered a subscription for my students.

I is so nice to see someone publishing a magazine where teen girls are presented as wholesome, age-appropriate teen girls and not as exploited, skin-bearing women. I had been hoping for years for a magazine like this. Discovery Girls is packed with topics appealing to teens. The layout is vivid and attracting. If you are concerned about content and role models for teen girls then this is the magazine you have been waiting for.
