Truth or Dare: five girls, one summer, many secrets by Barbara Dee. 244 p. Aladdin/ Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, September 20, 2016. 9781481475631.
Publisher synopsis: A few white lies during a simple game of truth or dare spin out of control and make life very complicated for Lia in this brand-new novel from Barbara Dee.
When Lia returns after a summer with her eccentric aunt, it feels like everything has changed within her group of five friends. Everyone just seems more…dramatic. And after playing a game of Truth or Dare, Lia discovers how those divides are growing wider, and tells a few white lies about what really happened over the summer in order to “keep up.” But is “keeping up” with her BFFs really worth it?

This seems like a great book for my fifth and sixth graders.
This sounds so fun. Wish I'd had books like this to read when I was young. I'n still curious about that beginning:)

This does sound like a great middle grade book. This week my book is The School for Unusual Girls by Kathleen Baldwin - a historical fantasy. Happy reading!

ReplyDeleteOh I remember those bra struggles and that time where you're in between and it's so awkward. This sounds like a good read!
ReplyDeleteI remember getting my first bra - white cotton and almost flat! This sounds like a great book for middle grade girls (and probably for moms too).
ReplyDeleteMy Friday post features STEALING JASON WILDE.
Sounds hilarious!! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't need a padded bra or a push up. Sounds like a light read for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a book my god daughter would enjoy. I will have to watch for it for her. Thanks for sharing.
