There are plenty of nice reviews for this book already on Amazon, so there isn't alot more to say except *Buy This Book*, you wont be sorry! My 16 year old daughter very rarely has the time or inclination to read, and she loves this book! I started flipping through it and I found myself REALLY enjoying myself and learning about things I had forgot about or never knew! Its a really great book!
Everything you forgot that you needed to know -- and more! July 6, 2009

How can you not like a book that tells you how to dye your hair with Kool-Aid, how to make a lava lamp, how to perform a Japanese Tea Ceremony, what the meaning of courage is, how to catch a fish, how to run a magazine, how to be a private eye, how to become President of the United States, all about the Underground Railroad, how to dance the Cotton-Eyed Joe, how to shoot pool, how to say no (and how to say yes), and -- for pete's sake -- how to run away and join the circus. And that's less than 10% of the topics in the book. The information in here is terribly important, it is positively invaluable lore and instruction.
I defy anyone to pick up this book and tell me that they made it through reading the Table of Contents without smiling, reminiscing, and also being intrigued. It's a seemingly random collection of really neat stuff that you find you are thrilled someone had the time, energy and brains to actually document. It's the stuff that's told around the campfires, discussed over dinner tables, and taught over sidewalk chalk in the driveway.
Get it for your daughter, get it for your niece, or get it for yourself. It makes a wonderful addition to any girl's book collection, and when you give it was a gift, you will know that you've struck gold.
Double Daring Kool-Aid ThrowDown! June 15, 2009
Kim Fritz (On Line And Doin' Fine)
It's summer, and we're getting creative here at our house - we are thoroughly enjoying the latest and greatest by Andrea Buchanan and Miriam Peskowitz, The Double-Daring Book for Girls. It's perfect for my daughter - and her friends...chock full of fun, no-holds-barred ideas and opportunities for girls to explore. I highly recommend it for every family...
The book is ideal for a hot, summer day to learn about how to start a mother-daughter book club, create paper beads, play dominoes, or even...how to run away and join the circus!!! We've already started planning out our summer evenings and weekends to include many of the amazing activities in this incredible book....
Here's our thrown down challenge
Let's all highlight our hair with Kool-Aid!! (yes, you are reading this correctly, my friend...pull out those 25 cent packages and get colorful!!!) Get silly and creative with your special girl - it's a fun time sharing a wickedly outrageous beauty makeover without a big commitment. We can't wait to tell our friends, "Does she, or doesn't she? Only Mr. Kool-Aid knows for sure!"
My daughter I are headed to the pantry to pick out our flavors...ugh, colors....to jazz out our "do"...what color are you going to try?
Your Daughter Will Love This Book June 14, 2009

This book is IMO all about empowering girls. I would be an awesome book to read with an important girl in your life, chapter by chapter, exploring all the activities as you go. Both of you would learn a great deal. It would be a perfect addition for the homeschool family, no doubt about it! And of course you can do virtually everything in it with boys too.
