About Us

JANUARY 2, 2008
Do you dare?
There was so much excitement about The Dangerous Book for Boys, it’s no wonder someone had the brilliant idea to make a similar book for girls. The Daring Book for Girls by Andrea J. Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz offers a manual to outdoor and indoor fun. The book has all sorts of nifty history bits, advice and clear instructions for various do-it-yourself projects. For example, you can read about past and present princesses and great women inventors and learn how to tie a sari, read palms, build a tent, travel around Africa (yes, the entire continent!) and learn how to build a lemon-powered clock! Check it out and tell us what you think. It is daring enough?
