Have an amazing story?
You can share anything, it can be a story, or a thing (like an artifact), or a place, or something you see or create (like artwork), an animal, a tradition, and of course a person… like YOU.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! is ready once again to astound audiences with its latest annual book, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Dare to Discover .
Packed with jaw-dropping tales and mind-boggling feats, this newest edition continues the tradition of celebrating the world’s most unbelievable stories.
From the depths of the oceans to the far reaches of space, Dare to Discover takes readers on an exhilarating journey through the strange and the wondrous. The 21st edition features a curated selection of the most incredible stories, including:
Jaw-dropping feats, like the extreme flexibility of teenage contortionist Liberty Barros or the dexterity of Robyn Slain, who can spin 10 basketballs simultaneously!
Amazing animals, like Pearl the Chihuahua, the shortest dog alive! At 1.2 pounds (553 g) fully grown, Pearl weighs less than half as much as the Ripley’s annual book!
Incredible places, like the dangerously beautiful ice caves of Alaska, China’s mysterious singing sand dunes, and an island that wears a cloud like a hat!
Delicious creations, like the work of New York artist Harley Langberg, who uses food to make art that is good enough to eat — literally!
Awe-inspiring artists, like Justin Bateman, who turns pebbles into lifelike portraits, and Rajacenna van Dam, who can use both hands and feet to create eight drawings — at the same time!
Extraordinary people, like Thor Pedersen, who visited every country in the world without flying in an airplane, or Dan Block, who threads balloon animals through his mouth and out of his nose!
The book’s packed 256 pages invite readers of all ages—even the most reluctant—to get lost in a vortex of weird and wonderful stories with vibrant imagery, bite-size facts, fun lists, and silly callouts.
Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Dare to Discover is available now at major retailers and on Amazon . Don't miss your chance to explore the weird, the wonderful, and everything in between!
