Product Description
The Daring Book for Girls is the manual for everything that girls need to know—and that doesn't mean sewing buttonholes! Whether it's female heroes in history, secret note-passing skills, science projects, friendship bracelets, double dutch, cats cradle, the perfect cartwheel or the eternal mystery of what boys are thinking, this book has it all. But it's not just a guide to giggling at sleepovers—although that's included, of course! Whether readers consider themselves tomboys, girly-girls, or a little bit of both, this book is every girl's invitation to adventure.

 Daring Book for Girls November 2, 2008
I purchased the "Daring Book for Girls" for my daughter. She loves looking at all the interesting things to do. She takes it to school and talks about geography or whatever else pertains to what they are studying.
My g'daughter loves it! October 8, 2008
I bought this for my g'daughter's 11th birthday. At first she was busy playing with toys she rec'd that day, but then realized later that evening that the book is full of fun things to do, new things to try, and facts that realy interest girls her age. The next day she spent an hour trying to perfect the karate moves illustrated in the book.
It's a great way to stimulate a girl's mind while also getting her to try things she might otherwise be timid about.
I bought the Dangerous Book for Boys, too, but won't give it to my g'son until his birthday in a few weeks.
 For girls of all ages September 22, 2008
I bought two copies for girlfriends who are celebrating milestone birthdays this year. Although I believe the target audience is pre-teen/teen I thought it would be great to dare my girlfriends to learn and live some of the things in the book that they've not experienced. Why do you have to be young to be daring? Good gift no matter the age.

Too boring. Promotes the 1950s stereotypes of girls' interests and does little to broaden their horizon or foster a want to escape those stereotypes. The only redeeming parts were the "occult" and "Satanic" sections. Don't know why others would be so critical of them, when the Bible is no less scary or gruesome...much more so in the macabre and graphic details, in fact. Just look at Christ nailed to the cross oozing with blood. Those who deny this charge have not read both Old and New Testaments.
Regardless, people still read the Bible to their children...Ever wonder why the children grow up to be paranoid, God-terrified adults?
Great book August 7, 2008
Would recommend this book to anyone that wants to give a gift to a girl.
