description: More stories of girls from around the world who save the day through their wits and daring, this collection of tales provides an alternative to traditional folktales in which girls get married off or rescued by a prince. Examples of these heroes include Sherlock Holmes's niece, Shannon; Lily a Chinese girl who uses her wits to gain entrance to an all-boys school; Karen, a Danish girl who assists local resistance fighters against Nazi occupation; Kristen, a Canadian girl who saves a man from drowning in a 19th century lumber camp; and Sally, a mid-19th century African-American girl who bravely escapes from slavery with her brother.
