Customer Reviews

pleasant, easy read with a good plot

I got this book for Christmas when I was 11. I loved it then and I love it now, 4 years later! This book is an easy read when you don't feel like something overly deep and complex. Good characters, good plot, and an interesting and informative account of something most of us have never experienced. For something more thought-provoking about the same topic, try Prep by Curtis Sittenfeld.

Very Good!!!

This book is about Eliza Chapman and her life at boarding school. You will understand her emotions as she meets new friends, breaks the rules and when she is just plain miserable. When she plays a secret game with Carrie, Helen, Pam and Jean her brave part comes out and when she meets new teacher the shy part comes out. The only question I have about this book is, when will there be a sequel???

Extreamely Well Written

Theis book was so good. It's about a girl named Eliza who goes away to boarding school for a year and becomes friends with a mischeviouse, unpredictable girl in her dorm. And it is they who start the daring game. This book was so good. I think you should read it.

A wonderful book

"At first Eliza is happy with her new life at boarding school, settling into the Yellow Dorm, making new friends, learning the rituals of school life and doing well in her classes. But a bond begins to develop Eliza and Helen, a mischievous, unpopular girl who defies authority, plays practical jokes and doesn't seem to care what others think of her. It is Helen who starts the daring game among the five girls in the Yellow Dorm..." The Daring game is a truly wonderful book that is "tender, often funny, sometimes blessedly pensive and always perceptive". So do yourself a favour and read it.

Dares, Dares, DARES!

Elizabeth Chapman enters her new life in boarding school. She settles in the Yellow Dorm meeting new friends: Helen, Carrie, Pam and Jean. At first, she enjoys her life in the Yellow Dorm. Until one day, Helen thinks the Yellow Dorm is too boring. So she starts the Daring Game. A game full of dares and tears. The first dare was for everybody. Helen dared everybody to have a feast in the middle of the night. At first everybody disagree, but they still did it which got them in to a lot of trouble until Helen dares the second dare.........
