This is an amazing book, my favourite character is Chi who was the daughter of a rice farmer who defeated the seven headed dragon. It show's the strength of girls in achieving goals.
I really liked the book because it's full of brave girls who are very good at outsmarting their enemies, and my favourite character was a girl named Chi who killed a dragon.
i loved it
This is a good book because it is stories about strong girls that are really resilient this is good for strong and brave girls!
I wouldn't reccomend this book really to people like me Who likes to read just 1 whole story
I loved it because there was many different types of legends
It is filled with stories from all around The world and one caught my eye I really think people should put their head in this book too travel into the myths and legends. :)
It's brilliant!
I've got nothing against boys having adventures, but it makes me feel sick when all the "Heroines" do is sit in a corner simpering for help (and finding new ways to put ribbons in their hair).
I thought there were hardly any traditional stories where the heroines actually saved themselves.
But there are loads of them in this book, and they really are traditional - one of them was originally written in cuneiform!
It's fine for boys to read too though, the last story has a boy and a girl as heroes (without the "they got married and lived happily ever after" bit, they were just friends).
I really recommend it :)
All the girls should read this book
All the girls in this world would enjoy this book
When you read fairy tales, you see that boys save a girl in trouble, but in this book the girls save themselves with their quick presence of mind and cleverness. this book is wonderful......
Really enjoyed the different stories in this book.
Because it has myths from different countries and it may have a heroine of your own culture too! It talks about Telesila, a heroine from Ancient Greece. I am Greek and I liked it a lot!
Lovely stories retold in a Lari Don-y way!
Great lari don
It is awesome Go Girls!
This book was perfect for me I was always wanting to find a book which made girls the heroes so I think all the other girls doing the reading challenge should read this book
Fantastic
This book reveals that girls aren't the pretty things that scream and get rescued by brave knights and handsome princes;they are true, courageous heroes.
Very funny & good because girls were the heroes not the boys!
Very inspiring stories.
best thing ever
It has thrill,chills,and spills!It is totally awsome It is so good I read it in ONE DAY ! IT THE BEST!
This book was really good. It was all about girls doing it and being brave without needing a boy!
This book is amazing. All the detail in the story is amazing. B-)
