The follow up to the bestselling The Daring Book for Girls—more outrageous fearless fun from making a raft to the art of the Japanese Tea Ceremony.

In response to the resounding success of  The Daring Book for Girls comes a second volume with all original material that promises to be full of even more daring adventure than the first. Girls will learn how to surf, horseback riding tips, April Fool's Day history and pranks, how to make a labyrinth, how to sing, all about cowgirls, and how to organize a croquet tournament. Just as packed with creative and exciting material as the original, but double the fun,  The Double-Daring Book for Girls is an adventure guidebook of stories, activities, facts, and games for daring girls everywhere.
