This is a rare find--a book with 14-year-old boy protagonists that is FUNNY. Jensen and his best friends Maleek and Cooper are graduating from 8th grade in the morning, but they are going to have a wild adventure the night before. Jensen is not a rule breaker and he's got some anxiety, but when his friends knock on his window and invite him to sneak out for a night of dares (from a group of girls), Jensen climbs out his window and joins in on the fun. Most of the book takes place in one night as the boys attempt to keep up with the girls' dares. There are funny scenes involving skate boards, an internet-famous ferret, and sneaking into their deserted middle school. It's also a story about crushes, friendship and fear of the unknown. Recommended for middle school collections, especially for 8th graders contemplating high school.
