Customer Reviews

Daring!
The Dare Game was written by Jacqueline Wilson (one of my favourite authors). It is a Tracy Beaker Story and is very popular. It was illustrated beautifully by Nick Sharratt (who draws a lot for many different authors) and it was illustrated very exquisitely. This book is great for children who are over the age of 7 or 8 up to the age of 15 or 16 because adults are far too boring to read such a good and exciting book like this one. I think girls would like this book better than boys but I might be wrong. Criticisms: Many, many, many repeated words like great or amazing.
