\"rookie1.cover_web\"<\/a>Get this book for any teen girl you know. Tavi\u2019s online zine, Rookie Mag<\/a>, has been collecting accolades since the fifteen-year-old blogger started it from her Midwestern bedroom. Tavi has been a respected style blogger since 2008, when she began her fashion blog Style Rookie at the tender age of eleven. Since then, she\u2019s been invited to attend and review fashion shows all over the world, but it\u2019s not just clothes anymore; this clever writer and all-around gifted young woman has created a magazine where teens can go for conversations with other teens about school, friends, music and movies, feminism, body image and self esteem, fashion, sex, and all the minutiae of teenage life that seems so monumental to those who are living it. She writes about the problems and the questions that real, modern teens have. She\u2019s frank and funny and I wish I\u2019d been even one-tenth as smart and confident as she is when I was a teenager. What I\u2019m getting at is: here is a great, realistic role model. And a great book!<\/p>\n

Rookie: Yearbook One<\/a><\/strong><\/em> is an ink & paper retrospective of the online magazine\u2019s first year. It contains a lot of writing by Tavi, but it\u2019s been touched by dozens of others; Miranda July, Lena Dunham, Aubrey Plaza, Joss Whedon, Patton Oswalt, and many others make appearances \u2013 either in pieces they\u2019ve written for the magazine or as the subject of one of Tavi\u2019s excellent interviews (I love how she is just as comfortable grilling Whedon about his modern-day interpretation of the sexual politics of \u201cMuch Ado About Nothing\u201d as she is sharing a laugh with Plaza about how much they love the film \u201cReality Bites\u201d). These are articles that matter, ideas that resonate, and interviews that are exciting and in-depth; it\u2019s also lighthearted (you\u2019ll love the section on how to cry without anyone catching you), and the graphic design of the book is phenomenal. If you have any taste for collage (and a little bit of the ridiculous) your eyes will pop at the juxtaposition of textures, photos, and hand-drawn illustrations. It\u2019s just amazing, and I wish so much that I\u2019d had it when I was a teenager!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
