Praise for The Daring Book for Girls
'Gung-ho girly advice…the boys had their Dangerous book, now this one is for us'
Good Housekeeping
'I can't imagine not wanting to get stuck in to The Daring Book for Girls. It's an admirable project'
Jenny Diski, Sunday Times
'The authors mix inspiring tales of girls who made good . . . with a scrap bag of how-tos for girlish activities . . . The Daring Book for Girls keeps . . . practical knowledge from getting drowned in the techno-flow' The New York Times
'We've had The Dangerous Book for Boys - now it's our turn. Refreshingly, it's not about lipstick tips, but pioneering women who inspire us' Glamour
Product Description
The only book for all self-respecting girls from the team behind THE DANGEROUS BOOK FOR BOYS
‘The Daring Book for Girls’ is the manual for everything that girls need to know – and that doesn't mean sewing buttonholes!
There have been pale imitations of our ‘Dangerous Book for Boys’ trying to create the same for girls. But nothing has achieved that same feeling of freedom and adventure that the ‘Dangerous Book’ had in abundance. But now ‘The Daring Book for Girls’ will fill that gap. It is a real daring book written by real girls for real girls. And what real girls want, just look at their comments on-line, is adventure, excitement, and just as much danger as the boys.
So here we present to you Famous Women Spies and Pirates, Women Who Changed the World, How to Make and Fly a Kite, Seven Daring Wonders of the World, How to Survive in the Wild, and how to try to begin to understand why boys show you they fancy you by pulling your hair.
The only cooking you’ll find in ‘The Daring Book for Girls’ is cooking over a fire, in the wilderness, while your friends tell you ghost stories to scare you witless!

Format:Hardcover
My daughter LOVES this book and now has a 'Daring Book for Girls' bag packed to take with her whenever we go out. The breadth of things covered is amazing; tree climbing, knots, spies, but it also feeds the mind - she wants to watch Elizabeth and has expanded her reading list too, all because of things in this book. Buy it

Very good book for my eleven year old grand-daughter. Lots of ideas and lots to do. Also plenty of interesting information. She is a girl guide and it fits very well with that. An excellent book

Hardback Review
After having looked at my dad's 'The Pocket Dangerous Book for Boys: Things to Do,' I decided to purchase this book to see if it had any similar content. Although the book is complex in parts, it is still packed with fascinating facts and fun activites to do. It even made a perfect resource for making origami boxes in my calligraphy class.
There are some sections that remind me of my own childhood such as Handclap Games, Skipping, Campfire Songs (although I have never sung around a campfire) and Charades (a fun game from my childhood). I will definitely buy 'The Double Daring Book for Girls' one day. 5/5.
Kindle Review (Updated 18/2/2011)
I recently downloaded the Kindle version of this book to my iPhone and most of the content is the same as the hardback book but it's actually the original American version! I wish the UK edition of the book was available in Kindle form to cater to the tastes of British fans of the hardback book. The good thing is that if I go away on holiday, I will no longer have to worry about lugging around a heavy book. 4/5.
