The Dangerous Book for Boys

How many other books can teach you how to build your own treehouse, play poker, or write with invisible ink? Conn and Hal Iggulden's Dangerous Book for Boys revives old games, tricks, and reveals interesting facts about the solar system, famous battles, and stories of characters who exemplify courage and bravery. A mix of almanac, encyclopedia, and survival manual for boys, it is Conn Iggulden's first book, co-written with his brother, Hal Iggulden. The work is a tribute to the long summer afternoons of their youth, containing vital information for fathers and sons, and men of all ages. Throughout the book's production, the authors relived these moments, retracing every step of the game—they assembled paper airplanes, pocket flashlights, made fireproof clothing, and even built a treehouse. As with other editions worldwide, some new chapters were created for this book, and information was adapted for Brazilian readers. Among the new features, famous battles of Brazil, maps of Brazil, quotes from Machado de Assis and new stories of extraordinary characters - Amyr Klink (The Lone Traveler), Santos-Dumont (An Adventure in the Sky), Percy Harrison Fawcett (Mystery in the Jungle) and Os irmãos Villas-Bôas (The Villas-Bôas Brothers and the March to the West). The Dangerous Book for Boys is the perfect book for all boys from eight to eighty years old.
