The Dangerous Book for Boys

[gdt]

Conn and Hal Iggulden.

Oh dear, I've got a girl. And she is interested in tools and knots and other things in this book. But she'll never read it because the authors of this wonderful text gave it a sexist title. Unthinking pigs.

The authors ask where this sort of adventure is found in the modern world. The Guides spring to mind :-)
