Hi - we think you'll be interested in these exciting New Moon books just out
from Crown Publishing. (If you've already received this, we apologize.
We're having some trouble with our email software and don't think it went
out properly the first time.)

Crown Books for Young Readers Proudly Launches First Two Books of New Moon:
A Series For Girls, About Girls, Written and Edited by Girls.

New Moon Books go "beyond the usual advice column approach by including
poetry, magazines for young girls, recommended Internet sites, and a nicely
varied book list including fiction and nonfiction. Girls will appreciate
the honesty and directness as well as the myriad of suggestions. An
especially welcome addition for elementary and middle-school collections." -

non-fiction books debuting August, 1999. Launching with New Moon:
Friendship and New Moon: Sports, the books help girls explore their dreams
and goals, their ideas, and most importantly, themselves. New Moon books
are written and edited by an editorial board of 10 14-year old girls from
across the country whose voices are fun and fresh, and sure to appeal to
girls who want to read and talk about topics that affect their lives.

NEW MOON: FRIENDSHIP
New Moon: Friendship explores the ins and outs of friendships, from what
makes a good friend to different types of friendships to fun activities for
friends. Sidebars, poems, stories, and personal anecdotes provide an
entertaining, informative, and helpful look at how girls think about and
handle friendships. New Moon: Friendship will appeal to girls looking for a
fresh, supportive and familiar voice on a subject that's important to them.

NEW MOON: SPORTS
New Moon: Sports is a unique look at the way girls can participate in
athletic activities, common myths about girls and sports, and girls' sports
around the world. Exploring the variety of sports now available to them,
New Moon: Sports discusses competition and shares first-hand accounts of
winning and losing. Included are the girls' trademark poems, interviews,
fascinating facts, and more. New Moon: Sports will spark the enthusiasm of
girls already involved in sports, answer questions for curious readers, and
reinforce the idea that girls can participate in any sport they want to try.
