Written in Sandi's hilarious voice, this interesting, funny book is jam-packed with facts, tales and information on a range of topics that prove girls can do anything boys can do - and do it better!

She is well known for her television and radio work, as a presenter, writer and actor. She has written many books for children.
The book to buy for daughters . . . It would make a fine stocking
filler with its lively, entertaining, illustrated snippets about
the great women in history and the restrictions that they overcame,
and will arm readers for arguments about gender equality
*The Sunday Times*
A little ego-boost for the girls . . . a reminder, from the Bayeux
Tapestry to gladiatrices, no less, of women's achievements, told in
Sandi's trademark zany, accessible style
*Irish Independent*
My grandchildren will be getting this in their stockings . . . It's
funny and full of facts that may surprise parents too. In a world
of hollow celebrity it is a timely polemic that warms my feminist
heart
*The Times*
There's a mass of facts and information of all kinds . . . The
result is a book which will make girls realise that anything is
possible - and that women have already done most of everything
already!
*Love Reading*
Would make fascinating reading for men too . . . Girls are Best is
packed with fascinating facts with which to wow friends. It is an
education and a revelation, a great book to dip in and out of and
to learn from
*Write Away!*
