Twelve-year-old Paris Pan has moved to a small town where she has a real shot at making friends. 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.

"My 7-year-old has been reading Paris at bedtime, under the covers and wearing one of those forehead flashlights." - Parent "Paris Pan Takes the Dare" is a masterpiece.
