I’m supposed to be posting a review of The Daring Book for Girls here tomorrow. The problem is, I haven’t read it yet because I cannot get it away from my daughters.
Jane just may have to be the one to review it. She snatched it up the moment it arrived, and that’s the last I saw of it.
Come to think of it, I haven’t seen much of her either. She surfaced briefly, brandishing a roll of packing tape, to ask if we had any old newspapers she could use to make a waterproof cushion for sitting on out-of-doors.
"It’s from the book," she explained.
She’s asleep right now…maybe I can sneak into her room and snatch the book from her bedside table. Because that’s the kind of daring girl I am.

Too funny! Sounds like a pretty good recommendation to me!
Posted on November 5th, 2007 at 4:47 amHa! I just got that one too. My girls are a bit young for it, but not me!
Posted on November 5th, 2007 at 9:54 amOooo, this sounds like something my daughter might like.
Posted on November 5th, 2007 at 12:02 pmSounds cool, I’m looking forward to the review.
Posted on November 5th, 2007 at 6:59 pmI was wondering about this book. Can’t wait to hear your review although Jane’s actions speak for themselves. Now I think I know what to get my niece for Christmas.
Posted on November 5th, 2007 at 8:17 pmIs this the girls version of “The Dangerous Book for Boys” by Iggulden??? The cover looks very similar.
Posted on November 7th, 2007 at 5:08 pmOh, I want that book! But I’m afraid that if I get it for me my kids will snatch it away.

Since I only have boys, we have the Dangerous Book for BOys and love it. I may have to buy this one for ME!!
Posted on November 9th, 2007 at 6:02 pmWhat better recommendation can a book receive? I love the one for boys. My boys would recommend it, too…as soon as they stop telling me about ancient Kings of Great Britain. I expect it could happen anytime in the next three years.
