The Dare

Every year in Marley's town, the senior class takes part in a tradition that is supposed to be harmless fun. Each graduating student is handed a dare, and the early ones are the stuff of classic school pranks: eggs thrown at houses, glitter-packed balloons, and chickens set loose in the hallways.

But the dares don't stay silly. Going through with one can mean getting expelled, arrested, or hurt far worse, and refusing carries a price of its own. With the whole school watching and nobody willing to be the one who backs out, Marley has to face a game where every choice feels dangerous. This is a tense thriller about peer pressure and what people will risk to avoid losing face.
