MY REVIEW: "Adventure Girls!: Crafts and Activities for Curious, Creative, Courageous Girls", from author Nicole Duggan proves once-and-for-all that "Girl Power" is awesome! This book offers an amazing array of interesting crafts and activities which will inspire imagination, encourage empowerment, and spark self-confidence. It also includes bio-briefs of wonderful women who accomplished much through courage, perseverance, faith, and determination. You'll also find fascinating facts about nature, animals, maps, and constellations, and you'll learn about magic tricks, and photography and much, much more. Kindness and friendliness are encouraged, and so is reading and being a "bookworm. There are many fun things to do, both outside and indoors, and these activities can be shared with family and friends. I was a shy, insecure, only child who loved to read, and I would have greatly enjoyed this book during my girlhood.
