Description
WOULD YOU ACCEPT THE DARE?
In Marley's town, senior student pranks are a rite of passage. They start out simple: Marley and her friends - Atlas, Lucia and Jesse - egg houses, fill the headteacher's office with glitter-filled balloons and set chickens loose in the halls.
But when Jesse accepts a dare to drive Danger Alley, a ten-mile stretch of winding road that's notorious for car crashes, with no headlights, things take a turn for the worse. With her friends never backing down, Marley is caught between keeping the peace and keeping herself safe.
Just how far will they all go to finish a dare? And, more importantly, will any of them make it back the same?
The Dare by Natasha Preston challenges the limits of friendship and courage in a suspenseful tale.
