Enter If You Dare! was awarded a silver medal in the 2010 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards in the Non-Fiction Young Adult Category and has been nominated for the 2011 YALSA Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers List.

Reviewers rave about the book's appeal.

"Like a campfire or ocean waves, this book will mesmerize you. Here is a parade of characters who are seriously outre' - people who light themselves on fire, snuggle up to crocodiles, dive from 35 feet in the air into a foot of water, who sport seven-inch noses and tumours that make up a third of their body weight." - Kirkus Reviews

"Enter If You Dare! is one of those books that kids can nibble here, sample there and enjoy while they're secretly learning. It's filled with pictures, oddities from Ripley's archives, animal weirdness, and strange things they love reading about. - Terri Schlichenmeyer, syndicated book reviewer

The book retails for $28.95 in the U.S. and $32.95 in Canada.
