DESCRIPTION

The Adventurous Girl’s Handbook is the perfect book for smart, adventurous girls of all ages! This isn’t just a book for tomboys or girly-girls; it’s somewhere in between. It lets girls make their own rules, while providing useful and time-tested information on all the things they want to know about, like cool ways to decorate a bedroom, basic beauty and health advice, sports tips, and more.

A well-rounded girl is a force to be reckoned with; this book serves as the adventurer’s guide to navigating the road of girlhood with style, grace, and most of all, fun. It’s the book any girl can pick up again and again for a new lesson in decorating with beads, pressing flowers, or even changing a flat tire. Rock climbing, ballet dancing, throwing the most unforgettable slumber party ever, and dealing with boys—these are the things that girls want, and need, to know. The Adventurous Girl’s Handbook is cowritten by Stephen Brennan and his daughter, Lara—a relationship that sets the book between two powerful poles: the wisdom of adulthood and the adventurous spirit of every young girl.
