5 comments about Camp Out (New Fear Street, Book 2).

1. Camp Out was a book with many action. Even if the killers wer pretty obvious when one of their companions ends up dead, this book managed to keep me on the edge.



2. Three girls, who are best friends, are going camping. It is supposed to be an "all-girls camping trip" with no guys. But on the trip they meet guys who want to hang out with them; will they be able to turn them down?
   
   On the camping trip, scary and dangerous things happen, but I will not tell you what happens so that I don't ruin the book for you. Will the girls pull through, or will they be victims?
   
   There were too many boring "adventures" for me in this book. I don't care about rock climbing or white-water rafting. I didn't see a real deep plot, even taking into consideration that this is a teen book. I wouldn't have liked it any better if I had of read it as a teen, because I've never liked boring adventures.
   
   My favorite R.L. Stine books are "Hit and Run", "The Rich Girl", and my very favorite, "The Babysitter" (I-IV).



3. This could be one of R. L. Stine's most terrifying tales being that it has no supernatural elements and the evil within is purely from humans thereby making it very realistic. I say could have been and not is, because the story is very predictable. At the end of every chapter, which are only a couple of pages at most, something happens in the form of a cliff hanger, then the very first sentence of the next there's a twist and its not what the former chapter implied. This is a good thing for any story but only when it's done in moderation. The fact that every chapter you are reading has a twist has the reader knowing the next one will have one as well. The twists are pretty easy to work out when you are on the look out for them thereby eliminating the point of the twists, surprising the reader.
   
   It's a good basic tale, not completely original mind you but a good tale to give anyone to read in their tent if they're going camping or on a hiking trip. For those who are new to reading at this level, the twists may well be surprising but anyone who has been reading for a while whether at this level or not will probably not be too satisfied.
   
   If you have no idea what Camp Out is about it's the tale of three high school girls who plan a hiking and rockclimbing trip alone to get over failed relationships. The story is told through the eyes of one of the girls, Maria who is the reluctant one of the three to rough it in the great outdoors. They refuse an offer by three boys their age and a bit older to join them and set out alone. Soon their lives are threatened over and over again. They soon run into the boys which brings comfort for them all. If they think the threats to their lives are over, they are dead wrong!
   
   If you don't mind predictability then you will really enjoy this book. If not you'll still enjoy it, but not to any great extent.



4. This book was good ! It was one book which was full of tension.



5. This book is supposed to be a mysterious thriller. I didn't like this book because it said it was a thriller, but it wasn't. It is exciting because of the killing, but it was too far-fetched and it would never happen. The book seemed like it had no plot to it at all. I liked the language in this book, but the grammar in the dialogue was really bad. The characteers didn't fit in with the book. That is why I thought it was dumb.

5 comments about The Face in the Frost.

1. Prospero, an eccentric wizard living in the Southern Kingdom, has begun to experience something new to him, fear. Nightmares visit him, unearthly shadows dance upon his walls, and dreadful apparitions accost him. When his friend, Roger Bacon, returns from England with shocking news about an eldritch book, he realizes that someone is gaining great power, and that someone wants Prospero dead. And so, Prospero and Roger set off on a quest to unravel the mystery and stop someone who may now be the most powerful wizard in the world.
   
   This book contains one of the most wonderfully unique stories I have every read! It is gothic horror, but one where the protagonist is a wizard. Unlike the wizards presented in many stories however, Prospero often finds that his powers do not help him, and that he must confront the horrors or flee from them, the same as any other man. Through it all, the story portrays a gentle humor that makes it such wonderful reading.
   
   I really enjoyed the black-and-white illustrations provided by Marilyn Fitschen (though this may be only in certain editions), their stark nature adds greatly to this suspense-filled story. I highly recommend this story to any fan of fantasy literature, or player of D&D!



2. This is the perfect book for bright, sophisticated kids (and adults who love fantasy). John Bellairs uses creativity and a superior vocabulary to create a story that is by turns hilarious and terrifying. As a child this book taught me words like "alembics" and "escutcheon," made me laugh, and forced me to sleep with the lights on. John Bellairs knows that the most terrifying things are often as simple as a dark sellar or a misty evening. This book is a spinechilling delight.



3. When a book draws you in and keeps your attention in such a way that you stop seeing words on paper and start seeing images in your mind playing out like a movie, then you know that it is a wonderful and engrossing tale. This book is like that and in a sense about that as well.
   
   Bellairs weaves a tale that keeps your attention rooted to the spot. This book never gets old and I have read it multiple times. Each time is as entertaining as the last.
   
   This is a classic that should be graced with a place of honor on your bookshelf. Grab a copy when you can as it is becoming increasingly rare. You will not be disappointed.



4. "The Face In The Frost" is a richly imaginative tale of two wizards, Prospero (not the one you're thinking of) and Roger Bacon, who must overcome a third wizard, the evil Melichus before he destroys them, and a lot of other folks as well.
   
   Even if you think you've heard this story before, you've never come across a variation like this one. The closest analogue that I can come up with is "Howl's Moving Castle" for its eccentricity, but `Face' outdoes `Howl' is this respect as well as in its fear quotient. The scary scenes approach M.R. James in intensity, and they are always preceded by migraine-like aura. Prospero senses that something is slightly off about the inn where he is staying. He is still trying to figure out what is bothering him at four in the morning:
   
   "Strange thoughts began to come to him now: locked boxes and empty rooms. Four dials and a black hole. Four cards and a blank. And a dead sound on the stroke of four. Why did that mirror bother him?
   
   "Quietly, Prospero got dressed, took his staff from the corner, and opened the door of his room. The hall was dark and silent...He lit [a candle] and tiptoed down the stairs to the place where the mirror hung. Prospero stared and felt a chill pass through his body. The mirror showed nothing--not his face, not his candles, not the wall behind him. All he saw was a black glassy surface."
   
   Prospero explores further and finds his landlady standing fully-clothed in her room, with a butcher knife in her hand. "In her slowly rising head were two black holes. Prospero saw in his mind a doll that had terrified him when he was a child. The eyes had rattled in the china skull. Now the woman's voice, mechanical and heavy: "Why don't you sleep? Go to sleep." Her mouth opened wide, impossibly wide, and then the whole face stretched and writhed and yawned in the faint light."
   
   Prospero manages to escape the inn and town that was nothing more than an elaborate trap set up by Melichus to destroy him. He is reunited with his friend, Roger Bacon and they continue on their quest to find and destroy Melichus's evil magic.
   
   There are delightfully eccentric set-pieces in `Face:' a king who builds elaborate clock-works of the universe; a monk who collects strange plants; a talking mirror that divulges scores from a 1943 Cubs-Giants baseball game. I suspect the author wove his fantasy out of migraines, nightmares, and a love of mechanical oddities and spells that turn tomatoes into squishy red carriages. Prospero himself has a "cherrywood beadstead with a bassoon carved into one of the fat headposts, so that it could be played as you lay in bed and meditated...On a shelf over the experiment table was the inevitable skull, which the wizard put there to remind him of death, though it usually reminded him that he needed to go to the dentist."
   
   I'd better put an end to this review before I quote the whole book. It's so good, it draws me in every time I open it---Enchanting, in the original sense of the word, and frightening, too.



5. Interesting story! It doesn't fit other Bellairs books but it was intriguing to read and to see how Bellairs began his writing.

5 comments about The Goodnight Kiss Collectors Edition (Fear Street , Includes 2 Super Chillers Goodnight kiss and Goodnight Kiss 2 ).

1.

2. Goodnight Kiss alex c.

   The story I read was Goodnight kiss by R.L Stine. The genre of the story is horror/ fiction. The main characters are April Blair a 16 year old girl who is vacationing with her boyfriend in Sandy Hollow , Matt who is April's boyfriend is a immature monster movie loving 16 year old boy, Todd Matt's best friend who is also staying in Sandy Hollow is a shy 16 year old boy who is always thumbing a plastic butane lighter, Gabri is a vampire who is trying to turn April into a vampire, Jessica is a vampire that accidentally kills Todd so then tries to turn Matt into a vampire. The conflict of the story is that two vampires "Gabri and Jessica " make a bet , which ever one that can turn April or Todd into a vampire first wins but in the process of the bet Jessica accidentally kill Todd so then turns her sights on Todd. The climax of the story is when Matt is chasing April and Gabri in a row boat bound four Gabri's lair.
   
   The resolution of the story is Matt thinks he saved April but a few days later there alone and April drinks Matt's blood. Yes I would recommend this book. I would recommend this book because its scary and full of suspense.



3. okay, its been a while since i've read this book and am incredably fuzzy on the details but i do remember how much i loved it. i've read it twice at least. R.L. Stine was my favorite author back in middle school and as sad as it may be i still enjoy reading them. If i have nothing better to do than i'll borrow one of my friends old books or one of my own and finish them in a couple hours. I highly recomend the Goodnight Kiss books for any young adult horror reader or any of Stine's books for that matter. I'm actually about to dig the book out of my basement to re-read just for fun.



4. This book rocks. I read it two years ago and I still remember it because it was so good. I read it three times. The plot is all twisted in itself at the end. The ending is so surprising.



5. This book is really good you really get into it and i enjoyed reading it.....that is...........before i got to the ending! The ending is the most stupidest thing i have ever read!

5 comments about Evil Thirst (The Last Vampire, No. 5).

1. The Last Vampire #5: Evil Thirst, by Christopher Pike
   
   Back to her vampire self, in "Evil Thirst" Sita faces a difficult decision. She either has to destroy her daughter, Kalika, or give up a precious child, John, who may be the savior of the human race.
   
   Kalika's actions in the previous novel, "Phantom," cast her as the avatar of an evil goddess, but as Sita ponders her daughter's behavior, she wonders if she can redeem her. Or is she wrong, and Kalika is right? It's a difficult situation for her, a vampire who believes in love and redemption. Can a mother's love overcome a child's evil?
   
   Pike experiments further with New Age ideas as he transposes Sita's past in ancient Egypt with the oracle Suzama against her modern conundrum. The baby John, born to her friend after a mystery conception, is rumored to be the reincarnation of Krishna and Jesus, by a scripture written by Suzama. This may sound a bit out there, but Pike weaves a skillful and fast paced tale with all these varied pieces falling neatly into place.
   
   I think it is best to read the last three books of The Last Vampire series in a row, and not look at them as separate books, to get the full effect.
   
   4/5.



2. Alisa's daughter, Kalika - a bloodthirsty monster is gone. It is Alisa's task to track her down and destroy her. However, Alisa still believes that her daughter is not the monster she can be. She still hopes to save her daughter's life and perhaps the lives of everyone.



3. Oh my God!!! The twists in this book were amazing. I found myself screaming in excitment while reading this. It was so great... just like all the rest of them. This one made me cry at the end:(( I highly recommend the series!



4. In fact I LOVED the entire series! I think I read every book over at LEAST 4 times! I especially loved the character Kalika, loved the way he described her, loved her fathomlessness... I feel speechless right now, I don't even know what I say! That's how good it is... The book is religious, yet not so seriously so that you will punished if you do not agree or w/e, but simply, you'll be sucked so deep into the book you might even smart believing Sita's believes...



5. i read this book in year 7 this year and it is soooo cool! It is full of action as well as sad and happy emotions combined excellently. i think everyone should read it even people who don't read much will love this book. It is one of the best book i have ever read in my life!!!

5 comments about The Harvest (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

1. Welcome to Buffy's world. It's been a long time since I've seen the pilot episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. This book is identical to that episode. Here we meet Buffy, Xander, Willow, Cordila, and Giles. This was a great TV series and a great book. However, I've now read it 2 times and I can safely say I'll never read it again. If you've not seen the show or you have an have a desire, such as I, to read the books this is a must have.



2. The Harvest
   By Richie Tankersley Cusick, based upon scripts by Joss Whedon (1997)
   
   RATING: 3/5 Stakes
   
   SETTING: Season 1
   
   CAST APPEARANCES: Buffy, Willow, Xander, Darla, Giles, Cordelia, The Master, Luke, Jesse, Joyce, Principal Flutie, Harmony
   
   BACK OF THE BOOK SUMMARY
   
   "New school. Same assignment. Something's wrong in Sunnydale, California . . . something more than the usual bad hair day. As long as there have been vampires, there has been the Slayer. One girl in all the world, to find them where they gather and to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their numbers. In this generation, she is Buffy Summers, 16 years old and a new student at Sunnydale High. Her experiences at her last school persuaded Buffy to try to resume the life of a normal teenager. But it is no coincidence that Buffy has come to this town at this time. The area is a center of mystical energy, and all the signs point to an imminent, crucial upheaval. Once in a century comes The Harvest: a night when the Master Vampire can draw enough power to break free and open the portal between his world and ours . . . unleashing havoc. With the help of new friends and a new Watcher, Buffy's back in business . . . ."
   
   REVIEW
   
   The first in what would become an amazingly successful line of Buffy television tie-in novels, The Harvest is a novelization of the first two episodes: Welcome to the Hellmouth and The Harvest. Cusick sticks very closely to Joss Whedon's script; the novelization matches almost scene-for-scene, word-for-word with the final televised episodes, the only differences being an occasional minor change to a line of dialogue.
   
   The downside is there's nothing here that wasn't on the screen, but the upside is that Whedon's humor shines through bright and clear. As The Harvest doesn't add anything to the episodes, this book is probably only for two classes of people: those who can't obtain the original episodes on VHS or DVD; and those who collect all things Buffy.



3. "Into every generation, a slayer is born. One girl, in all the world. . ." If these lines sound familiar, then you probably already know the plotline of this book.
   
   For those of you without a clue to the Buffy saga, the story tells of a teenage girl whose destiny is to rid the world of vampires. Having been kicked out of her old school for burning down the gym (for more information on that, watch the BtVS movie starring Kristy Swanson), Buffy and her mother relocate to Sunnydale to start a new life. Well, surprise, surprise, Sunnydale happens to be situated on top of the Hellmouth, an ancient portal for all forms of evil. Buffy, with the help of her watcher Giles and new friends Xander and Willow must fight to destroy the vampire forces that want to open the portal and unleash hell.
   
   The Harvest is the novelization of the first two episodes of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer tv series. The book offers no additional backstory or new information and will be appreciated mostly by die-hard fans of the series, especially if they haven't seen the opening episodes in a while. Speaking as a die-hard fan, it was fun to remember just how innocent the Scooby gang was when they started out and how much their characters developed by the end of the series.



4. I recently decided to start reading all of the BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER titles, and this was a great start to the series.
   
   I really enjoyed being introduced to Buffy, Giles, Xander, and Willow, and I'm sure there will be much more to learn about these characters. I hate Cordelia already, and know that I'm going to love Angel, but I'm still really excited to keep reading.
   
   A great start!



5. The Harvest is a retelling of the story told at the start of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer tv series. A novelisation of the tv show, if you want to put it like that, taken from the Whedon script. There is a master vampire in Sunnydale, and on one particular night he is able to open a portal and summon an army.
   
   Buffy has a new Watcher, and meets some new friends at her new school, after being booted out of the last one, and has to come to terms with all this and deal with Head Vamp into the bargain.

5 comments about College Weekend.

1. When I was a kid, R. L. Stine was my absolute favorite author, I read all the Goosebumps book and eventually came across his Fear Street series. I read this when I was 10 and it still haunts me to this day... definitely worth a read! :)



2. Synopsis: It's been three months since Tina Rivers saw her boyfriend Josh Martin. Now, Tina is really excited as she and her cousin Holly Phillips take a trip to Patterson College to spend the weekend with Josh.
   
   However, as soon as they arrive at the Patterson train station, things start going wrong. They get cornered by someone threatening them for money, and Josh is nowhere to be found. Luckily, Chris Roberts, Josh's roommate comes to their rescue. Chris tells them that Josh went with his friend Steve to a geology camping trip but had car trouble on the way back, which is why he couldn't meet them. Tina is disappointed, but has a nice time spending time with Chris.
   
   Unfortunately, as the day goes by, Josh never shows up, and Tina starts to feel that there is something strange going on. For one thing, she notices someone step into her room while she is sleeping, but doesn't know who it is or why they were there. Later, she meets a girl named Carla Ryan, Steve's girlfriend, and feels that Carla is hiding something from her about Josh. Things get worse when Carla tells Tina that Holly went with a girl named Alyssa to a party, but Holly never shows up later.
   
   Will Tina realize what happened to Josh and Holly, and figure out her own life is in danger?
   
   
   Review: This was an average R. L. Stine Fear Street book in my opinion. It wasn't really bad, but I just felt like the story dragged on for too long. I was surprised to find out what kind of a person Carla was in the end, because I had a wrong impression about her.
   
   There were three reasons why I didn't like this book compared to others in the series.
   
   - Firstly, why does Tina get attracted to Chris and give him the wrong signals (like kissing him), when she is still supposedly worried about Josh? That did not make any sense to me.
   
   - Secondly, and more importantly, why did Carla tell Tina that Holly went out with Alyssa, or even know about Alyssa, when Alyssa wasn't even going to Patterson? If Carla was trying to help Tina, why would she tell her that? Stine never provided an explanation to this anywhere in the book
   
   - Also, there is no clear explanation as to how Chris's girlfriend Judy died, or any history behind their relationship. I feel that the story would have been more interesting if Stine had added this, in a flashback of some sort.
   
   If Stine had covered the above plot holes in this book, or written the history of the characters in greater detail, I would have definitely enjoyed it. I thought the premise of the story was very interesting, but overall, "College Weekend" turned out to be predictable and disappointing.



3. This book was the first I read of these books, that was during the summer. This was a great book, easy to read, and left you wanting to keep reading on and on. I could not put this book down, I read it in one week!



4. I wish I could say this book was great.Yet it was awful.The book revoles around Tina Rivers who wants nothing more than to spend the weekend with her Boyfriend Josh at Patterson College.Yet her parents won't let her go unless her cousin Holly goes too,No big deal.Only when they arrived at the train platform Josh is not waiting like he promised.Instead his roomate Chistopher is and he says Josh is in the mountains.Yet Tina thinks why would Josh got Hiking in the mountains when he knew she was coming to visit.So he takes them to Josh's dorm to wait.Then a girl named Carla shows up and also claims Josh is with her Boyfriend Steve in the mountains.Holly then asks Carla if Christopher has a girlfriend.Carla then tells a sad story of how Chris and his girlfriend Judy were on a boat and Judy fell over and died.From here the story gets really boring from Tina searching for Josh to supposed phone calls about car trouble.To Holly disappering.To finally finding out Christopher is'nt as nice as he seems and that Tina may never see Josh again.



5. I LOVED THIS BOOK. IT'S ABOUT TINA AND HER COUSIN HOLLY. THEY ARE GOING TO SEE TINA'S BOYFRIEND BUT CHIRS TELLS THEM THAT HE IS AWAY ON A CAMPING TRIP. THEN A LOT OF WEIRD THINGS START HAPPENING. READ THIS BOOK IT'S THE BEST.

5 comments about A Deadly Game of Magic.

1. On their way back from a competition four teens find themselves stranded at a stranger's house due to car trouble. The man who let them in to call a mechanic tells them to lock up when they leave as he and his wife are headed out to a party. You immediately get the feeling that something is not quite right here. From this point on things really start getting suspenseful. You wonder, are they alone in the house? this was a great read. However, due to a lot of unanswered questions I only gave this book a rating of 4 out of 5.



2. As an avid suspense and horror reader, the title, "A Deadly Game of Magic", immediately caught my attention. However, when reading this story, the expected feeling of thrill and suspense was replaced with discontent and regret.
   
   In this story, four friends become stranded in, what they believe is, an abandoned house. The friends, Lisa, Teena, Julian, and Bo explore the house, and they find a room full of magic props. Strange things begin to happen, such floating balls of light. These magic tricks start to become more dangerous as the book progresses. The friends predict that the previous owner of the home (and magician), The Great Chamberlain, is in the house trying to scare them. Can the friends escape the house unharmed?
   
   If you enjoy the plot of a book to keep you guessing, avoid this book. This story was very predictable, and it followed a cliché plotline. The predictable plot is a result from the unoriginal events in this book. The storm, phone dying, and power outage are very overdone happenings in the land of suspense and horror. These unoriginal events take away from the suspense and thrill this book had the potential to have.
   However, one reason you should read this book is because of its length. It is a quick, easy read, with just over 200 pages and larger-sized font, making it simple to read.
   
   In all, this book lacked originality and a suspenseful plot. However, the short length of the book made it easy to get through. When deciding to pick up this book, determine if you would rather have a simple-read, or a book with substance. If you would rather have a book with nail-biting, heart-pounding, sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat suspense, then I would advise you to stay away from "A Deadly Game of Magic".

3. Four students try to return home from a school debate contest, and thankfully four return, but not in the best shape. On there way back they get caught in a terrible lighting/thunder rainstorm. Where they then are forced to finally give up driving all night long to return home and stay somewhere. They stop at a house and meet the owners, but to the students it seems that it really isn't people's home. The people seemed really anxious to leave and were what it looked like in a hurry. What where they doing there? And why? The people leave and let them stay .Later they hear noises and find clues that are finally put together and solved to reveal that they aren't the only ones in the house. Throughout the book there is a conflict between the four students and one mystery person in the house that won't leave them alone until they finish his Deadly Game of Magic.



4. This is one scary book. Four teenagers driving home from a speech and drama tournament in a blinding rain storm are stranded by car trouble north of Dallas. They're let into a home to call for help, but the man and woman they meet there almost immediately leave for a party. Left on their own to wait for a mechanic, the kids begin to think that the couple who let them in may not in fact be the owners of the house. And they begin to suspect as well that there's someone else in the house with them. When the storm knocks the power out, plunging the foursome into darkness...well, like I said, this is one scary book.
   
   Joan Lowery Nixon's YA novel, originally published in 1983, isn't entirely successful. The occasional conclusion is jumped to without sufficient evidence, and the dialogue can be clunky. Also, Nixon's protagonists tend to say things and otherwise behave in ways that aren't credible given the context. For example, when it's pitch dark in a strange house that you think may be haunted and/or inhabited by a killer, and when there's a room down the hall in which you suspect there just might be a dead body, you don't react to finding an old scrapbook with a cheery cry of, "This is terrific! Look! Photographs!"
   
   What's particularly impressive about A Deadly Game of Magic is how Nixon manages to instill the story with dread. We aren't told specifically what's wrong with the behavior of the couple whom the teenagers first meet in the house, for example. But there's something off about it. We sense it just as well as the teenagers do, and we want them to get out of there as soon as possible. But of course they don't, and things just get worse from there.
   
   While facing their fears in the house Nixon's protagonists reveal their back stories. They are all bowed down, in various ways, by their parents' expectations for them. Battling evil in the house, we are to understand, will also give them the courage to choose their own paths in life. This is the uninteresting part of the book, the part that's meant to make the story relevant to its underage readers. Maybe they'll like the character development and maybe not; for sure they'll like the main story line.
   
   Highly recommended to its intended audience and as a quick read for adults. But don't read this one right before bed.



5. It was okay.... i guess. I'm just not to sure. Its about these kids whos car breaks down so they enter this house and some really weird things happen... including a disenbodied hand and a glass head and a mysterious back room... and some dissappeirenses of a dog, a boy and wheres the owner of the house? Is their anyone in the house with them? Do you want to know? Read a deadly game of magic.

5 comments about Dangerous Girls.

1. It might be just me but...the way he wrote this one made me queezy. I didn't like how Renz was obsessed with "His Laura" I also didn't like how the plot was repeating...Destiny goes and almost dies then livvy does .. then destiny.Boring.



2. This is just my opinion, but I like how suspenceful it is. I like the Characters and how they are different from each other. It was a little confusing. I couldn't figure out why Renz thought that biting twin sisters Destiny and Livvy would bring his girlfriend back. But I love how twins are involved in the book. I want to read it AGAIN. It was gripping and interesting. At times it went slow-paced, and that's okay, but occasionally it went too slow-paced for me. This is the first R.L. stine book that was about vampires that I have read, except for the "Goosbumps" series. Good Job R.L. Stine!



3. I LIKED it, but it didn't have as much vampire things happening in it. Also, the vampire things weren't very detailed. Vague detail. It had some exciting parts that i loved, but it didn't have much to it. It was too breezy.



4. Destiny Weller and her twin sister Livvy came back from Camp Blue Moon with a thirst for blood. Now they're drinking animals blood at night.
   Two of their friends were found dead with their blood drained.
   WIll they find the Restorer to bring them back to normal? Will the Vampire Hunters find them and kill them???
   Very good book I read the whole thing on a four hour plane ride. It was a little bit girly. The ending was kind of sad. I can't wait to read Dangerous Girls 2 The Taste of Night.
   --Scott Schaeffer age 10



5. The novel "Dangerous Girls" is highly recommended for anyone who enjoy the paranormal and fantasy creatures such as, in this case, vampires. The book is cleverly written, and contains good, various bits of suspense, explanatory descriptions, normal life contra fiction.
   One of the very best teenager books of R.L. Stine that I have ever read, and I have read at least 40, I believe.

5 comments about The Locker.

1. I read this book when I was about 8 years old (I always read at a higher level) and this book had such an impact on me that I still remember it. The Locker was so horrifing and the characters were so real, I couldn't put it down and I read it multiple times. I'm now 23 years old and I'm ordering this book so I can enjoy the thrills again and again. A must have for any library.



2. i just finished reading this book, and just had 2 tell someone how good it was. it was a bit slow, but the ending was so good. u never see it coming! richie tankersly cusick is my favorite author, ive bought almost all her books, and im making it my goal 2 read them all by the end of the year. her books r so good, i recommend them to older ages though, maybe 12 at the least because it can be bloody @ sometimes. very very good book :)



3. oh my god, i'm 12 years old and this was one of my favorite books RTC wrote and it was GRADE A+ TYLER WAS SOOOO SWEET hahaha i wasn't really surprised at the ending though sorta... i did a book report on this book and got an A+ defenate reading book, read this book, you won't be mad



4. This book is in one word amazing! I have always found richie the best author out there and this book explains to me again why. She is the only person who knows how to scare you like hell. She makes it seems so real that you feel like, you yourself are the main character and you are living the situation yourself and that is frightening. Especially the bit in the kitchen of Suellens house was so frightening I felt chills go down my spine, I was there I was in that kitchen and I felt the fear the main character felt. Richie has this incredible way of describing things, describing it so real that sometimes you've got to stop reading. This book was amazing!



5. The Locker was great! It is the only one of her books that I've read that was written in first person. It makes you more invovled in the book and more involved with the characters. Cusick creates excellent, believeable characters.

5 comments about The Secret Bedroom (Fear Street ): The Secret Bedroom.

1. Lea Carson is new to Shadyside, new to school and she doesn't want to believe it at first, she may be the newest victim of Fear Street. Lea hears weird sounds from a place above her bedroom. Lea sees a sealed up door so she opens it and discovers the secret bedroom...



2. This book is about a girl who lives in an old house, and there is a secret bedroom in which odd things happen (I won't tell you exactly what happens because I don't want to ruin it for you). But I will say that the things that happen are interesting and wants to keep you reading until you find out what exactly is going on.
   
   The ending was very satisfying. We found out the "why's" and "how's" and all questions and curiosities were answered. I wish I could say more, but I don't want to spoil it.
   
   This is a "teen horror", and I am an adult. I feel this book was entertaining and interesting enough for a child, teen, or an adult. This book is one of my favorite R.L. Stine books (that I am so crazy over, no matter how old I get).



3. Lea just moved to Shadyside. She moved to a house on Fear Street. But she has had a bad start at Shadyside high. During her first week she spilled chilly on Marci's white sweater. Marci is very popular at Shadyside. Lea had made an instant enemy of Marci just for tripping and spilling chilly. Lea did make one friend, Deena. Deena was fairly popular but really nice so she was glad to be Lea's friend. When Lea started cleaning up her mess of chilly a guy started helping her. He said his name was Don. Then he asked her out on a date. Lea was surprised and said yes. She went to sit down and told Deena. Deena said it was a joke because Don had been with Marci for a long time. Lea wasn't sure it was a joke she knew Don was asking her out. Deena told her just to watch out for Marci. When Lea moved into her house it was a major fix-upper. In the attic there was a boarded up bedroom that seemed to be a secret. The dealer said there was a scary story for each house on Fear Street. She said that the scary story for the bedroom was that there was a murder there. On the night Don was supposed to pick Lea up for the date he didn't come. So Lea called him. His mom picked up and said he was over at Marci's. So Lea called Marci without thinking and Marci picked up. Lea asked for Don and Marci laughed. She asked if Lea actually thought Don was going to go out with her. She said that she dared Don to ask Lea out but Don was hers. Lea was upset and Deena was right. As Lea started to go to sleep she heard stomps over her head coming from the bedroom in the attic. She decided to check it out. She went up to the attic and tried to pry the boards but then a waterfall of blood came through the top and flowed to the ground. Lea ran to the front room and called the police than her friend Deena. Deena convinced her it was a dream and came over to her house. They checked out the attic and nothing was there. There was no blood at all. Lea was confused; it couldn't be a dream it seemed too real. When the police got to her house Lea told them it was just a dream. Deena left and Lea just sat confused. The next day Marci was telling everyone about Lea actually thinking Don wanted to go out with her. Lea was very upset. When she got home she just lay down in her bed but she heard talking noises and footsteps above her again. She went up to the bedroom and tried to open it again. But then large gigantic spikes came out of it. Lea was scared to death. She ran downstairs and realized it was just a dream. The next day the noise annoyed her so much she decided to go up there and open it up so she went up there and pried it loose to find a girl about her age in a pretty room. But then Lea realized that the girl was floating and with very pale color... It was a ghost. The ghost says her name is Catherine. The problem is that Catherine wants to come back to life and the only way to do that would be to take over Lea's body and Catherine won't stop until she gets that...



4. The Secret Bedroom is definitely a book worth reading. The suspense is incredible and you just want to keep reading! I remember my mom used to come into my room and tell me to go to sleep because it would be 11:30 and I'd still be reading. Although this book lacks a real story and doesn't have that good of an ending, it is still a very creepy and spooky book. I got shivers. If you like a good scare, read this book! The only thing I didn't like about this book was the ending- you'll never guess it, but when it comes the story just falls. No more scares, no more turns, but still a good book!



5. Contrary to most opinions, I believe this book to be an R.L. Stine masterpiece! It's been a while since I've read it, but I do remember it scared me so bad, I had trouble driving the next day, and almost got in accident. It's my favorite Fear Street book besides "Dead End". I also found out that R.L. Stine came up with the idea for this book while writing the "The Baby-sitter". Observe what Jenny says while her imagination runs wild on page 2 of "Baby-sitter":

   "Maybe the house is haunted. There's the ghost of a young girl trapped in the attic, and I accidentally let her out, and she inhabits my body and I'm not the same person anymore."

   No point to this brief lesson, just an interesting thing.
