I originally bought several copies of this book for gifts for most of the girls that I know. Then I read the whole thing, cover to cover in one night because I could not put it down, and had to go get several more copies for all the adult women that I know too. Pretty sure I have bought at least 10 of these for girls and women of all ages. I wish I could go back in time and read this when I was about 10 years old. It's fun, it's clever, it's super encouraging while also being honest and self-deprecating at times. Caroline weaves in great stories from her own life with inventive ideas for ways to live your life with courage and an eye for adventure. There are also little illustrated factoids about amazing women throughout history sprinkled through the book. The illustrations are charming and witty and add an extra depth to the book that will make it a keepsake for many readers.
