Parents will be comforted by its anti-perfectionist spirit and humor. Unbored is exciting to read, easy to use, and appealing to young and old, girl and boy. And it encourages parents to participate. Just as kids begin to disappear into their screens, here is a book (along with its sequels, Unbored Adventure and Unbored Games) that encourages them to use those tech skills to be creative, try new things, and change the world.
Yet the bulk of the 350-page mega-resource presents hands-on activities that further the mission in a fun way, featuring the best of the old as well as the best of the new: classic science experiments, crafts and upcycling, board game hacking, code-cracking, geocaching, skateboard repair, yarn-bombing, stop-action movie-making-plus tons of sidebars and extras, including trivia, best-of lists, and Q&As with leading thinkers whose culture-changing ideas are made accessible to kids for the first time. From how-tos on using the library or writing your representative to a graphic history of video games, the book isn't shy about teaching. With contributions from a diverse crowd of experts, the book provides kids with information to round out their world view and inspire them to learn more. Vibrantly designed, lavishly illustrated, brilliantly walking the line between cool and constructive, it's crammed with activities that are not only fun and doable but also designed to get kids engaged with the wider world. Unbored is the guide and activity book every modern kid needs. The most original, entertaining, and instructive all-in-one book for kids ever published-jam-packed with information, ideas, and activities for children and their parents to share together
