The Gutsy Girl By Caroline Paul Book Review

Would you consider yourself to be gutsy or adventurous? Are you inspired by other people’s crazy risks and challenges they have taken on? I love reading about people who set out to do amazing things and Kora does too, that’s why I’m excited to share this book review with you because I believe you and your tween or teen will enjoy it too!

The Gutsy Girl: Escapades for Your Life of Epic Adventure is definitely one book you will never forget!

Not only is it a great read for girls but for adults too. Every page is an adventure and a real page-turner.

When Caroline Paul was young she admits that she was scared of a lot of things but one day she decided to create something different. A milk carton ship and along the way she decided that being scared isn’t much fun and she was missing out on a lot of things.

She changed her mindset and her outlook and went on to live a exciting life full of goals, challenges, and adventures. She chronicles the adventures in this book including:

  • Attempting to get into the Guinness Book of World Records for setting the record for long-distance crawling
  • Climbing the Golden Gate Bridge
  • Learning to paraglide
  • Climb Mount Denali
  • Compete in the Olympics
  • …and more

Caroline’s stories are harrowing and often put you on the edge of your seat. At the same time they are funny and will have you laughing a second later.

The book is also full of fun facts, tips, activity ideas, blank pages for journaling with writing prompts, and comical illustrations.

Gutsy Girl is a great read that will spark your spirit of adventure whether you are reading it as an adult, a teen, or a tween. It’s a book that you won’t want to put down. Every time you find yourself finishing one chapter of adventure you will want to dive into the next.
