Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the sudden changes of a divorce and seems to be masking their sadness with academic competition or social bravado. Through the lens of a high stakes dare war between two fourth graders, Lisa Graff explores the heavy reality of divided households and the fear of being forgotten by a parent. It is a dual perspective novel that helps children see that their classmates are often fighting invisible battles just like they are. While the dares provide plenty of humor, the core of the story is about empathy and resilience for kids ages 8 to 12. It is an excellent choice for parents looking to normalize the confusing mix of anger and love that follows a family split.
