Bookroo's summary

Ida May finally feels like she belongs at school, thanks to her friendship with popular Stacey Merriweather. But when a game of truth or dare spirals out of control, Ida ends up in the principal's office, betraying her friends. To mend the chaos, she must accept a daunting triple-dog dare. Can Ida muster the courage to take the challenge, or will her frenemy Jenna Drews seize the moment? As friendships hang in the balance, Ida must decide if she can rely on her best friend or if she’s on her own.

From the publisher

Ida May finally fits in at school after becoming best friends with Stacey Merriweather, one of the popular girls. But then Ida’s frenemy, bossy Jenna Drews, brings in a game of truth or dare, and all the girls are suddenly daring one another to misbehave. When Ida finds herself in the principal’s office, she ends up ratting out her friendsÑwith disastrous consequences. The only way she can fix things is to take a triple-dog dare, but Ida May isn’t sure she has the guts. Will her BFF come to her rescue, or is this the perfect job for a frenemy?
