The League of Girls explores the elements of a team and what it means to be a strong team member while creating a positive sense of community. Nancy Drew tells about the importance of critical thinking skills while creating and publishing mystery stories. Girls will learn about how women can be heroines and super-heroines. They will craft their own personal super-heroines to save the day! The League of Extraordinary Heroines encourages members to create in comic book form, heroines that battle cliques, mean-spiritedness, bullies, and social isolation. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun! reviews the qualities needed to be a good friend, how they can be a good friend, and how to choose real friends.
