->''"Rainbow Dash is a huge fan of the JustForFun/DaringDo book series, but after the newest book comes out, she's not alone! Suddenly, every pony in Ponyville is reading the books! To prove she's the ultimate fan, Rainbow Dash decides to show her friends that she can be just as brave and "daring" as her hero. But Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow's other friends worry about how far she's willing to go. Just how daring should one pony be?"''

The third [[note]]excluding an ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls Equestria Girls]]'' {{novelization}} [[/note]] officially licensed ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' chapter book of a series of books by G. M. Berrow, and part of the overall Franchise/MyLittlePonyGeneration4 universe. Just like the previous two books, this also takes place some time after season three[[note]]With one line in particular suggesting that it takes place in the middle of season 4. See ContinuityNod below[[/note]]. This book focuses on Rainbow Dash's do-anything nature as well as the conflict between her go-it-alone nature and her friends' offers of support.

!!'''This book provides examples of:'''

* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism: After Rainbow Dash completes her dares, she becomes recognized as Daring Dash and her ego floats up again.
* BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: The South Amareican chili pepper. A couple of them would be a valid pest control method for farmers, and one bite caused Rainbow Dash to hallucinate and spew rainbow-colored fire.
* ContinuityNod:
** The last time Rainbow Dash was [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E8TheMysteriousMareDoWell particularly egotistical about her deeds]] was mentioned. The lesson appears to have [[AesopAmnesia worn off]]. [[MetaphorIsMyMiddleName Rainbow Danger Dash]] is brought up again as well.
** Also mentioned is the time when she saved Rarity in the [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom Canterlot Best Young Flyers Competition]]. Apparently her feat has been upgraded to a Double Rainboom, a possible [[FandomNod nod]] to a [[WebAnimation/DoubleRainboom fan episode]] and [[ComicBook/MyLittlePonyMicroSeries Rainbow Dash's issue in the comic]].
** When Rainbow Dash mentions that she wouldn't be surprised if Daring Do was a real pony, the rest of the Mane Six [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS4E4DaringDont shoot her a stern look]].
* {{Cosplay}}: Rainbow Dash wears a Daring Do costume during her quest.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Rainbow Dash does not like chili peppers.
* GenreShift: SliceOfLife to adventure with the introduction of a villain near the end.
* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: The toolkit Rainbow Dash gets from the rest of the Mane Six for her quest to obtain the Half-Gilded Horseshoe.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: The book introduces colossa-gators, gigantic alligators about the size of an ursa minor with iridiscent, green scales and red, glowing eyes.
* SeriousBusiness: Rainbow Dash regards a double dare from Wild Fire as particularly serious.
%% * WeWillMeetAgain: Braze after his defeat.
