This week fourth grade book club members are discussing Double Dog Dare by Lisa Graff.
What would you do to win a dare war?
Would you lick a lizard?
Wear a tutu to school?
Dye your hair green?
At his old school, Kansas Bloom was the King of Dares. So when, during his first week at Auden Elementary, he's thrust into a dare war to see who will be the future news anchor of the fourth-grade Media Club, Kansas thinks winning will be a piece of cake.
Francine Halata has been dying for that news anchor job forever. So even if it means making a fool of herself in front of the entire school, she vows to take Kansas, dare for dare.
In a battle of wits and willpower, Francine and Kansas become fast enemies ... until they discover that they have something surprising in common. And somehow, that one little fact changes everything.
