"The Girls Book" how to be the best at everything

I walked into a big box store and was wandering down the aisles and came upon the usual Hallow'een and Christmas stuff and found this book I thought would be cute for my daughter as part of her birthday present.
The title of this book is in my title.
As I was randomly flipping through it at home I saw a couple of things that made me think "weird".

It has a small section for little girls on what to do in case of an alien invasion and very clearly lets the reader know what to do, where to go, what to stockpile.

As I flipped a few more pages it showed a little girl how to follow someone and not be noticed!

This book is a trifle strange but was originally a british publication and now circulates under scholastic.


Is that weird, or is it just me?

Welcome luckyfourteen

Yes that is very odd indeed, and its under scholastic and available for kids.

The book is called "luckyfourteen" right?

Very interesting

Sorry, the book is
The Girls book - how to be the best at eveything...

Sounds like the books "Worst Case Scenario"
A good read

The author's name appears in the book somewhere I assume?
Should be easy enough to google.
Do some research. Post back...

This is an odd one OP. In case of an invasion? Is it tongue-in-cheek
w/ the Halloween theme in mind? Or is it all-seasons?

Anyone got a link on this?

Interesting find.. . .

Is this it?

Barnes and Noble

Or the same at Amazon (with a little more information and reviews)

Amaz on

I was unable to find any information on the writers background.

I would have to say that is a tad weird, or it could be some type of a sarcastic joke book?
