This book geared towards elementary/middle school readers provides tips on how to limit the clutter the gathers at home, in a locker, and even a backpack. There are suggestions on how to decide what to do with unwanted items, how to keep lockers organized, and how to keep different areas of a bedroom clean. The book provides fun crafts that readers can do to help keep their things in order. It's a pretty simple book but teaches the concept of organization in a clear way for the intended audience.

I bought this book back in 2008 for my daughter. This is a colourful short book with a lot of useful ideas and handicrafts. Maybe the handicrafts were a bit overwhelming for her.

The book also has a couple of sticker pages at the end, useful for labelling stuff and allows one to be organized. Unfortunately, it seemed my girl didn't read this, she's now 20+ and her room is stuff relatively messy and a lot of clutter :(

This book didn't help me at all! I already knew some tips in it. Also to me, using a shower caddy to put your stuff in it looks disorganized and weird plus ice cube molds look really ugly too. I am probably not going to read an other American girl book again,
