An Unboring Book For Older Kids

We’re not sure how to precisely describe Unbored: The Essential Field Guide To Serious Fun, but we sure think it would be great gift to a teen or tween.

A grab bag of fun, learning, and hands-on projects and activities, the book takes a highly quirky approach toward promoting self-esteem (“What’s Right About Being Wrong”) and even civic-mindedness (“Fool Your Friends Into Saving The Planet.”)

Bonus: It also encourages readers to have more fun with their parents (“Train Your Grownup To Curse Without Cursing”). Recommended for ages 8-13.
