It’s her late brother’s final dare that has Sam enrolling at Denmark Military Academy. Believe me, this friend has never lived this down! I hated college, wanted to join the military, and my friend said, “Hey, I’ll give you $25 bucks if you last a year at military school.” Here’s a not-so-secret secret: I survived the year, but never got my $25. The truth is, I don’t think there was a return dare. Man, I wish I had some epic dare to give back, like swimming with sharks with fish strapped to your body or something like that. Can you tell us what you dared the other person to do in return? Like Sam, you ended up at a military school on a dare. I think it's fairly obvious from my gushing this week and last that Rites of Passage has my highest recommendation, so I hope everyone picks up a copy next Tuesday when it releases! Protagonist Sam proved herself to be stronger than those around her mentally when she simply couldn't be so physically, and I may or may not have hugged the book to my chest and imagined she might take some comfort from it. As you guys already know, this book is one that made me rage and cry and want to scream at the top of my lungs at the unfairness of it all, but I loved every single second of it. I couldn't be more excited today to welcome author Joy Hensley to the blog to answer a few questions about her debut YA novel, Rites of Passage.
