For the book, the authors channeled generations of past tween girls for interesting project ideas, crafts, history lessons, and more. The result is the sequel to the very successful book, The Daring Book for Girls.

There's practical information included here, too. Tips on how to debate, how to say "hello," "good-bye" and "thank you" in various languages, how to paint a room, and how to run a magazine are also included.
