vodkafan Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Truth Or Dare Celia Rees This is a Young Adult book. It was a very quick easy read with a straightfoward linear plot . 13 year old Joshua is not happy about having to spend his summer holiday with his mother at his grandmother's house because she is ill. However, he makes the best of it. He decides to sleep in the attic bedroom of his mysterious Uncle Patrick, who died when he was the same age as Josh. He finds some of Patrick's things and becomes more curious, beginning to doubt the small amount of information he has been told. His mother is also acting strangely, staying up at night writing compulsively on the computer. Eventually, with the help of an older girl next door Josh begins to unravel the mystery, which leads to a shocking but cathartic experience for the whole family. I liked this book and will pass it on to my kids. It evoked for me quite well the feeling of being that age and adults not telling you what is going on. I had forgotten what that was like.
