Dare Accepted
Aiden Trigg is a teenager with few friends, a knack for mediocrity, and a penchant for disappointing those around him. Including himself.
When Aiden finds himself at the wrong end of a prank pulled at a party, he decides he is tired of being the butt of everyone’s jokes – and he knows how to turn things around.
Dares are the name of the game, and Aiden intends to play. Setting up a YouTube channel where kids can submit dares, Aiden accepts every challenge and records them, posting videos after they are complete. It works better than he could have planned and suddenly finds his popularity within school rising. Life is looking up.
Just when it seems everything he wants is within reach, Aiden takes things too far, shattering the few friendships he holds close. When a dare ends with catastrophic results, Aiden is faced with the truth that one decision can change everything… and that nothing will ever be the same again…

Aiden isn't popular, but he has good friends. Life isn't easy, getting trampled on & often picked on by the popular kids. However, Indie keeps him in coffees & her snark comments on his toes. Then one day there's this idea. And one idea can change a life forever.

Above all else, this book serves as a reminder: technology has changed the world very dramatically and very quickly. Teens have always dealt with the same things - peer pressure, fitting in, living up to their parents’ expectations - but with the world quite literally in their pockets, there seems to be no escape from the barrage of reminders to BE POPULAR!! above all else. Gathering likes on Instagram, followers on Twitter, views on YouTube - they are all quantifiable numbers to measure just how valuable you are to the people around you. Aidan is moody, sullen, and not always likable; seemingly every decision he makes is based primarily on how it will affect his social status. And it ends up costing him more than he could have ever imagined.
An entertaining story for younger readers, and an important lesson as well.
