Rookie is Sassy turned up to 11, decorated with glitter and googly eyes, and completely devoid of condescension. It is one of the few things that would make being forced back into adolescence, Freaky-Friday style, tolerable. It is lifesaving for teen girls and a completely unguilty pleasure for everyone who once was a teen girl (or who ever knew a teen girl). You should buy this book, and then you should record a heartfelt four-minute YouTube monologue about it (ukelele optional).
If you are, like me, a 56 year old feminist, I just want you to know that you are NOT too old for this yearbook. It has great stuff--an interview with John Waters! David Sedaris! Wonderful pictures, lessons on how to bitchface, Lena Dunham, how to do mod eye make up, awesome stickers. Anna Faris has the best advice for surviving high school: Lay Low.Oh, and lots of very bright and insightful writing by some powerful young women, women like us. No, we aren't teen age girls anymore but we will forever be trying to untangle the knot that was adolescence. Still tear up when hearing Adele's Someone Like You when you're alone in the car? Still secretly drawn to glitter? Still try on those platforms at TJ Maxx when no one is looking?This book is for you.And a word to the publishers, activate the "look inside" function--I think if people could see the table of contents they would get really interested.
I LOVE Rookie! It's funny. Smart. Interesting. Totally authentic, and put together by a combination of real teenage girls and women who care about girls expressing themselves. If you liked Sassy back in the day, this is an upgrade, and we've totally needed it! Buy, buy, buy! And share with everyone so they can see it and be jealous. The Rookie Yearbook is a total delight and I'm glad it's around.
The very best source for teen writing on the internet now in easily portable, tactile, paper product book form. I saw the Rookie Road Trip when it hit San Francisco and it was the most heartening thing to see these girls find each other. What an explosion of color and style and personality. The writing is smart, sharp, lively and personal. Highly recommended.
For the year that it has been in existence, Rookie has pretty much been my bible. It's as close as you can get to having a bunch of really cool and experienced people give you advice in person. The print format takes the best articles from Rookie's September 2011 to May 2012 issues and compiles them together with a bunch of additional goodies. This is not your ordinary teen magazine, topics covered can reach from outer space to Saved by the Bell to advice on dating and sex. Articles concerning the 'perfect bikini body' or '10 steps to make him notice you' are nowhere to be found here, instead Rookie tackles these issues head-on and analyzes why teen girls stress about those subjects anyway. Each article can be read several time without getting boring, especially the more personal recollections.In addition to the fantastic writing, Rookie also has an impeccable eye for design. The Photography is always incredible and creative. Fashion and Makeup are covered in a fun way with confidence being the only requirement. The new layouts made especially for the book are also incredibly stylish without detracting from the text.Probably the best thing about having Rookie in physical format is that now I can carry it with me and secretly read it in class while pretending to do homework, just what I need to get me through high school.
I got this for my 13 yr old. she is now a big fan of the book and the site. I really like that it gives her perspective on her experiences in a fun and informative way. It doesn't talk to her like she is completely an adult but it doesn't treat her like a child either. Some of the things written about may not be comfortable for everyone, unfortunately I think they are what most people experience in society at that age and slightly older. It helps to hear that it gets better from someone other than MOM!
It's full of prizes and surprises. I don't think a book quite like this has ever existed before. That makes it really exciting.
I bought this for my 17 year old daughter and she has really enjoyed it. This is perfect for girls who know that they are more than just another pretty face. So much media geared towards teenage girls focuses on looks and how to attract a boy. This book is a compilation of blogs by the author and is fun but really focuses on the role women play in our society. It shows young women how to realize they can make a difference in the world.
