But that friendship comes at a price. She must take The Dare, something that caused a girl to disappear on the very property she now resides. To make matters worse, Paris must play basketball against her will, eradicate a crush on the least desirable boy in seventh grade, and cope with a family crisis that was possibly caused by a chili dog.

We're enjoying it!" - C. Tahmaseb, Parent"My 7-year-old has been reading Paris at bedtime, under the covers and wearing one of those forehead flashlights." - Parent"I bought two copies and gave one to [daughter's] best friend ... Meanwhile, they are reading (without being pushed) a chapter a night to each other ... Then they discuss the chapter and are LOVING the book." - Flora, Parent"Oh, I loved it! I finished it in one sitting tonight! Paris is a hoot!" - Kathleen, Children's Bookseller"I loved it too! I'm really looking forward to you visiting our school! I know the kids will really enjoy it!" - Courtney, Elementary School TeacherJust wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the book.
