My book was "NO GIRLS ALLOWED!" This book was kinda boring didn't really thrill me! I was espesially disapointed in the girls in these times HAVING to disquse themselves as men to be reconize for whats good inside them and to get appreciated and be treated fairly! I did like that they had the real story of "MULAN" insted of the disney version but I would of put in more detail and discribed it better becasue in some parts it was well "YAWN" it didn't really grabb your attention at the beginning. But over all pretty good book I would rate on a skill of 1-10 6.2 I know I'm too nice! I felt really bad when I had to read about the women and young girls being forced into slavery!

this book was good. I think it was interesting to see what girls did to get equal rights. it was different in the first two because because they did what they had to do for a better world. this book is truly inspiring because it shows everybody just what women are capable of. this book also shows that girls are better then guys at some things. i think its awesome to see what women would do for freedom,including disobeying lying parents. i rate this book 9/10 because it was really good.

After reading this quite short book I was pleased by the fact that the they showed that girls can do anything like when Hatshupsut (hope I spelled that right!) wanted to be queen/king of Egypt and also another example of Mu Lan who became a famous chinese fighter. They made a Disney movie of her story called Mulan 1 and 2 and so far that is my favorite Disney movie. After reading about all these brave girls which I find is very influencial I rate this book 8.5/10.

I would rate this book 6/10. i found the book interesting because these women were very determined not to be treated like women usually were. its also a bit depresing though too becuase these women had to go to the extent just so they could do what they wanted to do in life. i also liked the form of the book, it wasnt exactly a manga but it was a little similar.

I think that this would have been more interesting with more detail into the lives of each girl, but maybe the author wanted the reader to want more and research these stories. I have to say that MULAN was still my favourite, even though the one with HAPSHUSUT (did I spell it right?) was interesting too. I think it was a bit boring in a sense that there wan't really a build-up to the climax of the story... I rate it a 3.5 out of 10.

I actually really liked this book even though ive heard some not so good comments. I liked how the author did it in comic book format. i dont really have any bad comments for it. It was short, quick pace and intersting. My favorite girl was the one that became a doctor and didnt get discoverd till she died :D 8/10

I found this book was very boring. I think it was supposed to inspire people, but it completely missed the mark. It also didn't make much sense. There was no real moral or main idea to the story, except that girls could do anything, but the story didn't make that main idea known. There was no emotions, it felt like she was just writing directly from a history book.I believe that girls should be able to do anything, but the book was horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3/10

This book was not the best. It was sad to see what people had to go through to get equal rights for us. One thing that was interesting was the story of Mu Lan. I didn't know that the Disney version wasn't the real version. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 6.

The book "No Girls Allowed" was a very short yet to the point book. I actually enjoyed reading it. I like learning about how women from hundreds of years ago had so many limitations, and that today most of those limitations no longer exist. It is very interesting the things that these women had to do for love, freedom, money or adventure. My favorite person out of this book is Ellen Craft, because her love was so strong for her husband that she traveled all the way across the United States to Canada for the safety of their love. <3
I would rate this book a 10/10. because I dont think that there is anything wrong with it. :)

this book no girls allowed was a wierd book with out a lot of detail. thats one thing that disapointed me. in this book all the girls would dress up as boys and men to get the same rights as them. i really liked the mulan movie by disney so i did kinda like that part but the rest was kinda boring. Basicly the girls wanted to prove that men weren't the only people who could do things and girls had the same amount of, well, power. i rate it a 7 out of 10
