The Dangerous Book for Boys, by Conn and Hal Iggulden is a guidebook aimed at boys "from eight to eighty." It covers around eighty topics, including how to build a treehouse, grow a crystal, or tell direction with a watch. Also included are famous quotes, stories, historical battles, and phrases that "every boy should know." It was published in the UK in June 2006, and reached number one in the UK non-fiction charts several times.

Some reviewers have criticized the book for encouraging its young readers to partake in activities that could result in injury, although there is a liability warning below the copyright information, as well as for promoting gendered stereotypes. Others have praised it for helping to counter "PlayStation Culture" through its promotion of outdoor activities and games.
