Dare is a realistic story about two brothers who are taken in by a tough teacher/horse rancher after their grandmother dies. The elder boy is a rebellious loner type yet wants to look after his younger brother. The emotional intensity as the boys learn to trust and find a home is potent, especially with the older boy, DARE, who secret family trauma keeps him trapped in himself.
I had to keep reading to the conclusion!

Teens might enjoy this story, but so did I!

I liked the characters and setting where Dare learns to relate to the horse. I also appreciated the hopeful tone. Good insights into teens. The realism of the setting and the life is outstanding.

Marilyn Halvorson is a Canadian and is a teacher/cattle rancher in Alberta.

It is entertaining and shows some lessons in dealing with teens and for teens to think about and udnerstand as well.
