Great gift
I purchased this book for my 10 year old granddaughter who lives some distance from me so buying gifts can be challenging. I had the book sent to me to be sure it was appropriate and I was pleased with everything about it. The Daring Book is visually appealing, accessible and full of useful information. It's perfect for the kid with a short attention span or one who can explore a book for ...

Absolutely Wonderful. Insightful
Interesting the only negative review was from a male. I have a 14 mo. old son and these writers are spot on about so much! I feel like they are my feminist friends. Great tough insights, wonderful laughs too. Good work.

Best book I've read as a new Mama
As a new mom of a 4-month old baby, I have been overwhelmed (to say the least) at the transformation of my own personality when becoming a "mama". I felt that Buchanan's book was a beautifully honest articulation of the things that many new moms feel when they become parents. It offers a few suggestions on coping strategies, but its main strength is its reassurance that others feel as I ...
