Went to the bookstore to look for a new bible for my nine year old daughter as she had finished reading her "little girl" bible, and needed a "bigger girl" bible. The ones I saw in the store seemed to be too young or too old, there didn't seem to be a happy medium. The ones for older girls all looked fancy and dolled up, but the inside was nothing more than a "plain old" bible. I wanted one that was more like a life application bible for her, and this one fit the bill perfectly. Once we received it and looked through it, it was exactly as it appeared online. Almost every page has a "bookmark" with an explanation of the meaning of the main passage. There's so much more that makes this a great bible for "tween" girls, my daughter especially loves the "journal" entries. Very pretty, and girl friendly.
