Would you lick a lizard?

Wear a tutu to school?

Dye your hair green?

When Kansas and Francine find themselves in the middle of a dare war to determine who will be the news anchor of the fourth-grade Media Club, they become fierce competitors and quick enemies . . . until they discover that they have something surprising in common.


Reviews
Publishers Weekly
The challenges start small (licking a lizard, hanging upside down on the monkey bars for all of recess), but soon escalate to hair dying, ketchup eating, wearing a tutu to school, and running underwear up the flagpole. Francine and Kansas attempt to outsmart each other every step of the way, and all of the nonsense is a welcome distraction from their parents' divorces. Graff's story is lighthearted and humorous, but honestly addresses the emotions associated with divorce. Her characters' voices, interactions, and hangups are relatable, as they battle each other and adjust to their families' reconfigurations.
