This camp season, get geared up for adventure with this New York Times bestselling duo! Loaded with do-it-yourself activities and games, campers and counselors alike will spend endless hours exploring and learning together.

If you could bind-up 6th grade summer vacation, building a tree house with your dad, and reading adventure stories under the covers with a flashlight, then you might have something close to THE DANGEROUS BOOK FOR BOYS.

The brothers Conn and Hal have conspired to offer a solution to our couch-sitting culture with this mischievous collection of all the things they loved doing as kids: from building go-carts and electromagnets to identifying insects and spiders to flying the world’s best paper airplanes.

This is the book for rediscovering all those essential boyhood skills including fishing, finding true north, skimming stones, and even figuring out what the big deal with girls is. Sometimes, we all need to explore the tall grass, scrape our knees, and problem-solve on our own. It builds independence, creativity, and self-reliance. And, besides that, it’s just plain fun.  

“And what about the girls?” you say.

Well boys aren’t the only ones who can get inspired by the games, heroes, and escapades of a bygone era and THE DARING BOOK FOR GIRLS will show them how.

Authors Andrea Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz have teamed up to write the manual for today’s modern girl. THE DARING BOOK FOR GIRLS is an inspiring, and most importantly, empowering, hands-on book that celebrates all things girl: from building the ultimate scooter to making friendship bracelets, mastering  karate moves to learning about women spies and the rules of tag, this book has it all!

Perfect for every girl with an independent spirit and a nose for trouble, whether they’re a tomboy, girly-girl, or a little bit of both, this book will encourage girls to be curious and brave!
