Description

What would you do to win a dare war? In a humorous and insightful novel reminiscent of her award-winning titles ‘The Thing About Georgie’ and ‘Umbrella Summer,’ 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.
