Seven-year-old Scarlett Bacon has a favorite t-shirt. On the front it says, Today I am going to accomplish something great.

To Scarlett something great means breaking a world record, whether it is trying to make the world’s largest pop tart, crush apples with her armpits, or grow the longest fingernails.

Armed with her book, World Records Even a Kid Can Break, and her best friend Clarence, Scarlett is on a mission to break a world record.

Will she do it, or does she accomplish something even more important?

Come along with Caitlyn and her family as they head out early in the morning for a deep-sea fishing trip on the old fishing boat, Gabby Mae, to celebrate her brother Jacob’s birthday. Caitlyn and her family have been out on the Gabby Mae before and everyone is looking forward to a fantastic day on the ocean catching fish and going out to a birthday dinner afterward. However, the excitement of catching a fish or two from the deck of the Gabby Mae is nothing compared to the pleasant surprise Caitlyn and her family are about to have, as Caitlyn is about to catch way more than she bargained for. 

The Girls Can Do Anything book series was written to inspire young girls to explore how women can impact the everyday world around them. These stories aren’t about competing with boys, or how much money they can make doing a certain job.  Instead, these stories are about empowering young girls to think outside the box about their future and realize they possess within themselves the power, imagination, and potential to control their own destiny.
