If you have daughters, you need to read Odd Girl Out, by Rachel Simmons . . . Simmons gives techniques for navigating the world of Facebook and tween texting supported by real-life accounts - essential when almost 40% of young people report being cyberbullied. But be warned: the book will plunge you right back into a world a BFFs, sleepovers and bitching in the changing rooms
