I Dare You (PB) (2025)

It's Judith Ann Johnson's last summer before becoming a teenager. As a young Black girl in 1950s Arkansas, her life remains primarily centered in her family and a segregated Fort Smith neighborhood. Amid fears of growing up and facing more social pressures, Judith and her sister Vivian develop a "daring" game to cling to their childhoods and satisfy their need for adventure. When Viv dares Jude to sneak into the segregated Temple Theatre after hours late one night, a harrowing experience will force Jude to reconsider the world she thought she knew.
