A must-have for any home library
Super fun book! The fun just keeps going when you also have the prequel, 'The Dangerous Book for Boys'. Lots of exciting projects and ideas, educational information and facts, stories, and other things that boys and girls alike will enjoy for hours of great reading.

Old fashioned fun with your son / grandson
I brought this for my son. and we are working our way through some of the shenanigan's they have in there. We are off camping in a few weeks, and we know already a few great outdoor activities that we will be trying together. Good, wholesome old fashioned fun - And useful stuff too: This is what summer holidays should be made of for a 10 year old and his Dad!!

Great Follow Up to The First Book
This a great follow up to the first book, which I've gifted to my nephews. The Dangerous Book series is great for kids (and kids at heart) to try activities and learn new skills while having fun.

??? Chapter 1 - "How To Pick A Lock" ???
The Double Dangerous Book For Boys is not for parents who are faint of heart. The title of the very first chapter is, "How To Pick A Lock", compete with detailed black and white drawings explaining the same. I bought this book for my best friend's child. I'm going to have to run the book by my friend before I give it to him. She's a laid back kind of person; her son is smart and well-behaved but still; I wouldn't give this book to someone not of legal age without asking their parent(s) to preview it first. I bought the first book, The Dangerous Book For Boys, years ago. It wasn't so "dangerous" but it was a fun and interesting book. It's been awhile. idk, maybe knowing how to pick a lock is a good thing to know these days. The world certainly is changing.

Great for boys that are adventurous
Let your young one try new things. Many of these things can be done at home. Some of them need supervision, and some of them need assistance and safety gear. But, all the projects can be lots of fun. Has some interesting information (tidbits) as well.

My son loves it!
My son loves this book! I think it makes him feel like he’s “living on the edge”, which is great for a 15 year old kid, but it is still safe and family friendly, and that’s great for all of us!
