Product Description
By Andrea J. Buchanan & Miriam Peskowitz. The Daring Book for Girls is the manual for everything that girls need to know & that doesn't mean sewing buttonholes! This book has a great guide to sleep-outs, a section on how to paddle a canoe, a knot-typing chapter, a how to for frying eggs on the sidewalk, directions for designing a friendship bracelet or making a lemon-powered clock and more. This book has it all! But it's not just a guide to giggling at sleep-overs, although that's included. Whether the readers consider themselves tom-boys or girly-girls - or a little of both - this book is every girl's invitation to adventure.

 Book review - Daring Book for Girls June 20, 2010
M. D. Phillips (Yuma, AZ)
I bought this book for my 10-year old granddaughter. She was really tickled and her parents were also very pleased and delighted. It has so many important, little things that we sometimes forget to pass on to our youth. This book was recommended after I bought my grandsons The Dangerous Book for Boys which they were ecstatic to receive. Two wonderful books, I highly recommend them both!
Great book! I would give it a 4 and a half June 9, 2010
Mrs. Sherrie D. Smith
I'm 16 and I love this book! It has heaps of great info and is awesome for girls of all ages from 6 to 16.
My daughter is completely nuts for this book! March 17, 2010
Mary Mcgill
My daughter saw this in the bookstore, and stated that she "reeeeaaaallllly" wanted it. She's a voracious reader, and just turned 8, so I kind of thought it would perfect. And it is! She reads it all the time, and refers to it just as much. She's learning, but in a fun way that she controls. All the stuff inside is pretty neat, and she frequently tells me things I don't know, all courtesy of the book. Her birthday was actually just a week ago, and this is so far and beyond her favorite possession, I actually had a cake decorator make her a cake that looked like the book, but instead of "The Daring Book for Girls", it said, "The Daring Cake for Gracie". She loved it!
 Insult to Girls Everywhere! February 2, 2010

I can only say how tremendously disappointed I was by this book! My son adores the Dangerous Book for Boys and I had high hopes that this book might rival it for my daughter. If one's only hopes for "daring" must entail tangling with the occult, it is a sad day for young girls everywhere! The book encourages girls to read tarot, play "Bloody Mary", and venture into other avenues of the occult. Somehow they managed to intersperse a few bits of fun with the objectionable material - we clipped out the section on hand jives before ripping off the cover and recycling the book. So disappointing!
 Very fun January 24, 2010

I have been listening to this while at various airports around the country and I think it's very fun. Great to listen to and I think it'd be very empowering for the younger generation.
