dangerous book for boys
I bought this for my grandson and I think it is wonderful for boys and girls, esp. since the world has changed for them and is not as safe as it once was. I enjoyed reading through it myself.
Great gift
I got this for my cousin (he's 13) and it was a big hit! He got it just before dinner started and he wouldn't eat because he was too busy reading. :)
I got the girls book for his younger sister and encouraged them to read each others' books, which they seemed to like the idea of. Lots of things for them to do together!
Great Book for All Ages - even teenagers!
I purchased this book for my teen son after reading good reviews from others. I agree, it's great! My son hasn't put the book down in days and has even shared the book with friends. The topics vary greatly but it's what curious boys want to know. Some topics include tying knots, understanding grammar, how to play poker, how to identifying trees, famous battles, and the list goes on. There really is something for everyone in this well written book.
I will purchase other copies to share with nephews and cousins.
