Go Girl: A Storybook of Epic NZ Women Reviews


  • Aimee✨

    I received a copy of Go Girl from Penguin Random House New Zealand to review.

    I loved that Go Girl was all about New Zealand women. I had heard of a few of them but there were so many women in this book that I’d never heard of before. I’m so glad I was about to read about them in this amazing book.

    I also loved the illustrations and the fact that they were done by New Zealand artists/illustrators. They were all amazing and I loved looking at them just as much as reading the stories.

    I know the title is Go Girl but I think this book can be read to or by boys too. Especially if they’re from New Zealand too.

    I really enjoyed Go Girl and would definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone!

    Absolutely loved that it was all about NZ Women - can’t wait to see if she does another. Definitely aimed at a younger audience but well worth it being read by women of all ages. Interesting choices in a couple of cases.

    Mixed feelings. Some of the stories are really enjoyable and inspiring to a young person and others are lacking, perhaps much detail has to be left out to make the stories suitable for children? Worth a google to learn more about their lives, there are some amazing and diverse NZ women featured in this book.

    4th book of the year out of a 104 I'm on a roll. Some great story's in there about woman in New Zealand who wanted change and achieved it, also some good story's about woman achieving there dreams.
