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.

 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.
Daring Girls Review August 1, 2008
I bought this for my granddaughter who is almost sixteen. She loves it and has found many ideas for fun activities this summer.
Daring Book for Girls July 27, 2008
I bought these books for my granddaughters. I saw this book at a baby shower and could not put it down. My only regret is that these books do not come with a jacket cover and one book was torn on the front edge of the book.
