Adventure Girl
Dabi Digs in Israel
On a special family visit to her grandparents in Israel, Dabi's parents insist that she dress and act like a "little lady." But when she finds a kindred curious spirit in her aunt, who takes her on a new adventure, Dabi makes more than one important discovery, including that it’s great to be true to herself. Dabi’s surprise discovery occurs at the Beit Guvrin National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where children can join an archaeological dig, crawl through caves, and explore ancient places.
