The Gutsy Girl: Escapades for Your Life of Epic Adventure by Caroline Paul

Started reading this one to preview for my 6yo. It's too old for her, but I still finished because I was enjoying it so much. Will probably buy for 10th or 11th birthday. Great stories from the author's life interspersed with practical advice and exercises and journal space.

Written for girls, but definitely a fun, inspiring read. Caroline has had some amazing adventures! Now I want to read her memoir about being one of the first women fire fighters in SAN Francisco.

Dit boek heb ik gekregen in mijn goodiebag van YALfestNL. In eerste instantie was ik er niet heel enthousiast van. Ik lees nou eenmaal meer in het Engels en vaak ook fictie.
Ik was dus aangenaam verrast toen ik dit boek oppakte met het doel het voor het einde van 2019 uit te lezen en de beschreven avonturen van Caroline Paul begon te lezen.
Het boek bestaat uit 10 hoofdstukken waarin Paul één van haar avonturen beschrijft, samen met quotes en korte biografieën van Meisjes of Dames met Lef. De quotes en beschrijvingen vond ik erg inspirerend en Paul's avonturen ook. Verder staan er nog tips in voor je eigen toekomstige avonturen.
Alhoewel het boek meer gericht is op jongere meiden, ben ik net zo geïnspireerd als dat Paul hopelijk voor ogen had.

Stories and lessons on fear, adventure, and planning for the younger girls. Fun, cautionary, full of quotes and examples of badass and normal girls and women getting stuff done and being awesome.

This was a really cute and fun book about adventures, risk taking, and tackling fear, among some other things. While I enjoyed it, it's definitely targeted towards young girls, which I would definitely recommend them reading.
