This book is about a boy named Dennis Cookman who loves to pick on kids younger than he is, until Elizabeth and her friends decide that they are sick of Dennis picking on them and they decide that they are going to do something about him. Dead Man Cave is feared by all Sweet Valley residents, and so Aaron tells everybody that he is going to spend the night in Dead Man's Cave. They do this so that Dennis is forced to prove that he can spend the night in the Cave too! Then serious danger comes upon all of them, can they save Dennis? This book was really good because it shows that all bully's are mostly insucure about themselves, and telling a teacher is the right thing to do, not to take care of the bully yourself.

Dennis is a boy who doesn't have any friends and spends his time picking on younger kids. Grace is a popular girl who would do anything to get into the Unicorn club. But when the club members ask her to get Dennis to eat lunch with her she's sure that she'll never get into the club. Both need to something they don't want to do to get what they want but they might end up helping each other in more ways than one. This is a good book, and I think it portrays the way real kids would react.
