Modeled after The Dangerous Book for Boys (see above)—and much more audacious than many books "for girls" that tend to lean toward the frilly or the dull—The Daring Book for Girlspresents activities and information to delight and entertain "every girl with an independent spirit and a nose for trouble." With this adventurous guidebook, your favorite twenty-first-century girl can learn how to build a tree swing, tie a sari, do a back walk-over, be a spy, press flowers, change a tire, go birdwatching, play jacks, whistle with two fingers, and more! Packed with cool projects, exciting true stories, and splendid miscellany, The Daring Book for Girls celebrates girlhood in all its intrepid glory. [Boys could learn a thing or two from—and have a grand ol' time with—this clever compilation of derring-do, as well!] For ages 8 and up.
