I don’t know why writers feel they have to fill a novel, TV show, or movie with so much toilet humor. That is the case with “The Underwear Dare,” too much off color bathroom subject matter and not enough story line. The authors have two boys in the fifth grade who for many years did not get along from single parent homes. Then the two parents get married. Now the two boys are forced to become step brothers. There’s also the fact that one of them will take over a room in the attic that is being converted into a bedroom. To decide which one gets the room the two stepbrothers come up with several bets before it is decided. At least the authors have on the back of the book a warning to the reader of what is inside making their choice to pursue. Series like The Happy Hollisters, Wizard of Oz, The Kipton Mysteries, The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and Harry Potter do not resort to this offensive subject matter because it is not needed to tell the story “The Underwear Dare” misses its mark of young adult readers because it is just too disgusting . I hope these authors do a better job in their next novel of these characters.
