Gutters, Tad, Kayla, and May are in a club called the Braves. They take turns giving each other dares. This time, Kayla is dared to sleep over inside a creepy old house. When her friends show up the next morning, Kayla won't wake up. She's still alive, but poisoned, and in a coma. A piece of paper nearby is marked with one letter, K. Is someone trying to kill Kayla? The remaining three Braves wanted to find out who's after their friend, but they had to work together to look for more evidence. So they start to investigate the creepy old house. Then they find a homeless man living in the house. At the end everyone was in shock. I Dare You is about sticking together, telling the truth, and never give up.

Not a bad book for kids, reminded me of some of the spooky stories I read as a kid. Lovely illustrations.

I Recommend this book because its an easy read but its also really spooky. The group of kids that do dares go a little of the top and someone is dead because of it. If you like spooky mysterious books i recommend this one. Can you figure out how killed there best friend?

In my book a kid named Gutter made a club called the braves. He wanted to get more kids in his club. He asked kids that looked his age but before they could get in they had to do a dare without being scared. Before long he got more kids named Tad, Kayla and May.

I thought this was a very good book. I liked when they did different dares. This was also sad because when Kayla was dared to stay at the Pike Street mansion she got poisoned. The next Moring when Gutter and the Braves went to get Kayla she would not wake up. Then the Braves saw a kid named Vern this is the mansions owners’ son. Vern saw the braves Vern said he saw a man on the mansion porch and got scared and ran out which he did not know Kayla was staying there. I don’t know who poisoned Kayla yet but I think it was the guy that Vern saw on the porch.

I would like to read other books by this author, well mystery books at least. My favorite character in this book is Kayla. I like Kayla because she is brave for stay in the mansion.

This book is a good book. It is a smaller book that which I normally don't read. So I was trying somthing new. This book has twists and turns. It's about a group of kids, the ones that do anything dive off of clifs and stay the night in supposedly haunted house. It is just over the summer. It starts off with them daring one of there friends to stay the night in a haunted house. They come to get her in the morning and she is just laying there and won't wake up. After they find out that she was poisened, they are on the look out for who did it. Is it the owner of the house? Is it the kid that was to be in the group? Is it a homeless man that stays in the house? I would recommend this book to anyone that likes a good mystery.

My book is named I Dare You and is written By Steve Brezenoff. This book is good so far and makes you want to keep reading.

In this book, they play the truth or dare as teens(Like we all do). Sometimes it can go a little too far. They dare Kayla to sleep in a scary house, she accepts the challenge and does it. Little does she know that she Might never wake up again, as she's in a coma.

This book is just getting to the good parts, so I will continue reading this to see if Kayla will live.

I gave this book three stars because it was pretty good. It was exciting and suspensful. I would recamend this book to other people looking for a quick read. I wish it was longer and had more detail about the people and what happened. I think it was an over all good book.
