What Parents Need to Know

About NewMoonGirls

Parents need to know that this site is a sister spin-off from the award-winning magazine New Moon Girls. It's aimed at girls 8-12 years old; content is written by girls and about girls'/women's issues and accomplishments. Girls can post questions, contribute to staff-moderated message boards, and read or publish stories, videos, art, and poems, all of which are screened before posting to the public. Girls decide whether they want to share their creative portfolios or keep them private. There's a New Moon store where posters, back issues of the magazine, and T-shirts are sold. Otherwise, this site is completely ad free. It's a subscription model, with a membership fee of $19.95 per year.
