What would you do to win a dare war?

In a humorous and insightful novel about dares, divorce and friendship, Lisa Graff tells the story of fourth-graders Kansas Bloom and Francine Halata, who start out as archenemies, until—in a battle of wits and willpower—they discover that they have a lot more in common than either would have guessed.

This dual-perspective novel will appeal to girls and boys alike—and to anyone who has ever wanted anything so badly that they’d lick a lizard to get it.
