Jenna is visting her best friend Hannah who has recently moved to Shadyside. Jenna and Hannah run into Angelica and Simon Fear, whose daughters died a few years ago. Jenna doesn't trust the Fears, but Hannah loves them since they give her free things. But there's a terrifying secret Angelica and Simon are keeping from the girls. They have a plan to kill Hannah and Jenna so their dead daughters can start living again.

I really loved this book, but there were some boring parts which convinced me to give this book four stars. If you take away the boring parts, this book is awesome. The beginning and the ending are the best parts. There are usually never surprise endings in Fear Street Sagas, but there is in this one. Well, it's not a huge surprise. It can be guessed if you think hard about it. Anyway, Simon and Angelica are my favorite Fears. They're so evil that it's funny.

Read this book!

I read this book for a credit in my school, FLC. I found the books to be interesting, though on a lower reading level for me. I found myself actually trying to figure out who would be the next senior to die or if one would die at all. If you like a book that will keep you interested but yet also not wrack your brain, then this R.L. Stine series is for you.

This book was okay, it could have been better. In my opinion Mary is a bundle of nerves, although doing what she did did proved the girl has some guts! Sometimes the story was hard to follow, but I worked it out in the end. I wished that one of the seniors died in this book though, by book 5 only one senior is dead! (Not that I liked her anyway.) This is a good book, even though the main character is a nervous, worrying heap and the plot was a bit difficult to understand at times. 4 out of 5 this time.

very exciting and intriguing

Every since I was in fourth or fifth grade, I have loved R.L. Stine's books. I really get into his books. This book in paticular, is very detailed and that helps a lot getting to understand and what is going on. I think that this is one of his better books(if you ask me). 'Last Chance' kept me on my toes while reading. I didn't want to stop reading it! I also really enjoyed how it ended. It wasn't what I had expected it to be at all. I love how it is always twisted at these kinds of books, which makes you keep guessing at what is going to happen next and how the story is going to end. Out of all of the characters, I liked Rob the best. He added a type of suspense since he had a mysterious personality. My favorite part to this book was when Mary is in Mr. Morely's classroom at the very end of the story. It made me start to wonder what either character was going to do/say next. If you like books that are suspenseful, I definitely recommend that you read this well writen mystery book.

Hi, this is my first time that I get really in touch with a book. What happened was that this book was very different to the ones I had read in the past. The way that touched my feelings, was that their was a senior named Mary O'Connor that believed that Mr.Morley was the only teacher who didn't blame her for what happened last summer. Then Mr.Morley knows that Mary cheated on her Social Studies Midterm, and he acts like he doesn't know nothing. That's when Mr.Morley gets Mary to do what he wants. She wants to get out but she's treat by Mr.Morley, he reveals that every thing he said to her was a lie.

Now, after disposing of the can in the last one, Evan is ready to get on with his life. Only this time the green blod is back and badder than ever. Now it's gotten into the hands of the infamous teacher's pet hampster. Now it has the ability to make things grow once eaten. It's a little far-fetched but it is a suspenseful read . . .for a children's book.

This is the 9th installment of R.L. Stine's "Seniors Saga". By now, this series is in full swing, and several Seniors have bit the dust. I really do like how the author, follows a regular school year schedule. This is "Spring Break" and obviously it is Spring Break for the students of Shadyside High School.
I recommend to my students to read this one during Spring Break, it really gives you a feeling that your actually there. Residents of Arizona, will like this book, since this takes place at a fictional ranch in Tucson, Arizona.
"Spring Break" has two separate storylines, the first group, Josh Maxwell, (who is back in the limelight again, after a couple of episodes) Gary Fresno, Mickey Myers, Deirdre Palmer all join Trisha Conrad at her Father's ranch in Arizona for a week of fun in the sun.
Meanwhile, Josie Maxwell (Josh's Sister) and Jennifer Fear, are back home in Shadyside hanging out and decide to sneak into a bar, here they meet two college guys. The four start to hang out together and have some fun.
Things go wrong quickly for the group in Arizona, as Josh bumps into an rough cowboy dude at the airport, and he tries to start a fight with Josh, this starts a chain of events that soon haunts the kids in Arizona.
Someone soon starts to stalk Jennifer and Josie, leaving them messages on their car and their porch. Who is this? What does he/she want?
Meanwhile, in Arizona, Josh and Co, meet Rose, her father, and Roberto. Roberto is excavating some Hohokam Indian Land.
Rose warns them of "La Amadora" a vengeful Hohokam spirit, who comes after anyone who disturbs the sacred land.
Soon things start to go wrong for Josh and Co. Things like a rattlensake bite, a coyote attack, a bedroom is broken into etc. Is it the work of the vengeful spirit? Is it someone who doesn't want them anywhere near the excavation site?
This book is really well written as it takes the reader back and forth between two stories.
Unfortunately not all the Seniors make it through Spring Break alive. Expect a twist at the end, as with most of these books, and finally, some of the characters show some remorse and/or emotion to someone dying. I felt this was long overdue. This is the beginning of the end of the saga, and it is sure to keep the reader interested from chapter to chapter.

It was one of the best so far!

I thought this was an amazing book. I loved how it switched from The story at Trisha Conrads Ranch to the story with Josie and Jennifer. I love the yearbook at the begginning of the book I like seeing who has died. I also like to predict whos next. I think these books are very suspenseful and You can never tell whos going to die. If anyone had to die out of everyone on the trip to Trishas ranch I wanted Deirdre to die the most because she was being a little wimp so that her sisters boyfriend could comfort her! If you are looking for a boook that you can't put down I suggest you read this one!I also loved the Josie and Jennifer thing. I was so mad at Tim and Evan! How could they do that to them? I thoguth at first they were evil. Like they were not doing it for attention but they actuallly wanted to hurt the 2 girls. I liked They're plan to scare the boyz but I thought that waas creepy about how deirdre came back to help them! In the Other srory at Trishas ranch Right from the begginning I knew Rose was bad. I had No Idea that she and Clay Hartley had teamed up but I knew there was something wronmg when she and Josh played hide and go seek and she suddenly disapeared and Josh got attacked by a coyote. Then she magicaly appears again saying she got lost. What A Joke! I would never trust her. As you can tell I enjoyed this book alot and I suggest to readers of any age READ THIS BOOK@

I thought this was one of the best Seniors books. I thought the parallel stories thing was cool; it added some suspense. Josie is one of my favorite characters, and I didn't really care for the character that was killed off, so all around, it was pretty cool.

I liked the structure of this book. Having two stories in one book is one of the things I think keeps readers interested. I must say, though, that Josie's story was a little weak. Josh's story was much better in terms of the plot and picturing the scenes in your mind. However, Stine killed a Senior that I was really fond of, so I was a little disappointed. Also, the end made me a little teary-eyed. However, this is a great book, so I would advise all the Stine fans out there to read it.

Out of all of the Goosebumps books I read Werewolf Skin has got to be one of the best. It is different from werewolf stories I've heard. It is scary, and pretty gory. But it is very good. My favorite part is when Alex goes into the woods and hears and sees scary things, and then the next morning, everyone starts talking about werewolves. It does have an unexpected ending. I thought it was going to be about a kid who goes to his aunt and uncle's house and hears howling and gets suspicious. But it is way better than that.

First of all, to people who don't like Goosebumps because its not scary. What do you expect? It's for 7 - 12 year old kids, meaning not very frightening but a mysterious ending. Goosebumps is a mystery book in a sort way, because every time you read goosebumps series, you wonder how the storyline is going to be connected to the ending. I started to read goosebumps at the age of 8, and never once did I thought goosebumps was scary. (I read almost every book of the Original Goosebumps Series). But I still love goosebumps, and R.L.Stine is the authour that made me wanting to be an authour. So the bottom line is, don't read goosebumps if you want chill on your back. If you want a chill, I'd say watch the movie "The Grudge". LOL!

Anyways, this book is one of the bests in R.L.Stine's Goosebumps books. I won't give the good parts away like the person before me did, but here's a bit of a summary.

Alex Hunter is a photography freak, and he has to stay at Wolf Creek where his Uncle Colin and Aunt Marta lives, because his parents had to fly to France for business. The cool part is, his aunt and uncle is a professional photographers.
He meets Hannah, who lives next door. And she tells Alex about the werewolfs... She saids that Alex's other next door, Marlings, are werewolfs.
Poor Alex. He just wanted to take a couple of pictures. But now he's about to find out the secret of Wolf Creek. When the moon is full...

This book won't be the same without the awesome ending. A 5 star from me, and if you're lucky, you might get a terrifying(?) werewolf mask inside!

This GOOSEBUMPS book, Werewolfn Skin, is one of the best GOOSEBUMPS books.
Alex Hunter is a photography freak. His mum and dad have to be at a business job in Atlanta. So Alex has to stay at his aunt Marta and uncle Colin's house in Wolf Creek. Aunt Marta and uncle colin are proffesional photographers.
Aunt Marta and uncle Colin only have 2 requests. Don't go in the woods late at night and don't go to the Marlins' house next door.
The house which is rundown and broken.
Then Alex meets Hannah, a friend Alex met whie staying at wolf creek.
But Alex is having a bad time at Wolf Creek. Because Alex knows a secret. Aunt Marta and uncle Colin are werewolves.And the Marlings don't exist. Aunt Marta and uncle Colin hide their werewolf skin there.
And late at night, aunt Marta and uncle Colin get the werewolf skin and put it on. Then they howl at the moon and turn into ... Werewolves.
I really like Werewolf Skin a lot!

This book goes downhill from the promising and horrifying beginning. However, descriptions of the graveyard where this story takes place are spine-tingling. The story is not what one would expect from the title or cover, but nonetheless it is intriguing and fairly scary altogether. Not your enjoyable average graveyard ghost tale but one to keep you turning the pages.

I liked the book because it was fun to read. I enjoyed reading about Joe's adventures caused by the lawn gnomes' mischief. While I was reading the book, I thought about how I would feel in Joe's position. I also liked the book because it was about a brother and a sister and how they get along. I have an older sister like Joe does, except my sister doesn't care about clothes.
I enjoyed reading "Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.'' It was a very entertaining book. I would recommend this book to any one who enjoys reading. This book is appropriate for ages 9 to 11 years old.
I would give this book 5 ***** stars.

I have read almost all of the Goosebumps Books, and this one always stands out in the crowd to me. It has a very good storyline and even though it is one of the more "unrealistic", it is one of my personal favorites.
The story is about a dad who likes lawn ornaments and buys two lawn gnomes from a store down the street. When the neighbors garden keeps getting trashed, the pet Rottweiler is blamed. When the havoc continues after the dog has been tied up, the children of the house are blamed. What will they have to do to prove that they are innocent? And who in the world could be doing the mischief? Read and find out! Hope this was helpful!

I was addicted to these books when I was younger and it wasn't until I was majoring in education in college that I figured out why. They were interesting with bizarre plot twists that most 9-12 year olds don't think about and they were short (usually between 110-130 pages). I could read the whole thing in a day.

My parents also didn't have a lot of heartache with buying me a new book because these are relatively inexpensive (in the neighborhood of 3-5 bucks each).

R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" books aren't scary, just kind of creepy. There aren't graphic descriptions of murder and mayhem. Just some ghosts, werewolves, or potions. The main character is alive in the end, and the final chapter resolves everything.

**Keep in mind, R.L. Stine has other books that aren't in the "Goosebumps" series that tend to be a little harsher when it comes to hauntings and plot. They are written more for the 12-14 age group and are longer (around 150-200 pages).

My 8 year old grandson checked this book out of the elementary school library. Needless to say, the title made me suspicious as to the content. After I read it, his parents notified the school. It has now been removed. This type of book may be o.k. for adults, if they like this sort of story; however, it should not be allowed in schools. Wonder where kids are getting the ideas to shoot up classrooms and malls? Check out the books they're reading......

Killer's Kiss is an easy to read fast flowing storyline that although a little predictable it has enough twists that keep the reader questioning what they think is going on is actually what is. R.L. Stine has written a substantial number of books marketed at children, young adults and adults and the publishing company has decided to place Killer's Kiss in the Young Adult category. Whilst some of Stine's childrens' fiction is a bit basic for adults or specifically written to only appeal to a specific age market this is not so with Killer's Kiss. Killer's Kiss is a simple and easy to read book but contains enough storyline substance that those who read most of their books from the adult fiction novel level won't still enjoy this. It also doesn't use teenage specific vocabulary (which would date the book extremely fast if it did) meaning those who are no longer teens can still follow it as well and in ten years time the next generation of young adults will still enjoy it as well.

Killer's Kiss is the story of a the self centred huge egod popular highschool boy (Vincent) and the affect his desire to manipulate two former best friends into believing he is dating each of them exclusively and convincing them the other is just jealous and delusional. Delia and Karina (the two girls) have been competing against each other their whole lives with Delia usually being pipped at the post by Karina. Delia has had enough of this and won't have what she believes to be her current boyfriend stolen from her. Karina has also had enough of what she believes to be Delia wanting everything she has. Throw in a talent contest and you've got an unhealthy competition that's deadly serious!

R.L. Stine books are still cool!!!

Although I thought this book would be kind of wack it turned out 2 be a great book. And the ending is so shocking. This was one of my first fear street books and know I read a book of Fear street almost everyday. This book is surprising and u wont let it down until your finish it. A thriller

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes R.L. Stine novels or to anyone who likes a good suspense novel. The plot is that these two girls who have always hated each other and go after the same things, like this guy named Vincent. Both of the girls think he is dating them exclusively, but he's playing both of them. The ending is very unpredictable and interesting

It is along the lines of I Know What You Did Last Summer like everyone's saying, but I thought this book was much better. The murders are very creative, and it isa very suspensful. Hard to put down. Good read.

This book was great and had a very surprising ending. You would never suspect the killer until they get the police photos. A must read if you like the Fear Street series.

I really enjoyed Full Moon Halloween! It's a great werewolf story, and the cool part is that the main characters (forget their names) are trapped in a house with the werewolf! Ooooh!! Scary!!

Seriously though, this is a really great book from one of the greatest fictional horror writers of all time!! It's another great story to add to your collection!!

Not so scary

I do believe that this story might be just a little scary, but it isn't the scariest I've ever read. I mean, if this story happen to someone, it could be scary, sure. But as a book, I was actually pretty much laughing at the beginning. So I am willing to buy the next two volumes of this book. But unfortunately, I cannot find any site that I can order the next two in. I think I have found the third volume, but not the second.

Fantabulous

I love this book. I use to get bored reading these other books recommeded by my high school English teacher. Now, because of this book I have come to love all books written by R.L Srtine.

It doesn't have to be scary . . .

Well, I've learned from the first time I read an R. L. Stine book that I wouldn't be scared by this "teen-horror" author. But, just because it doesn't scare the heck outta us doesn't mean its not a good book. Even horror-master Dean Koontz will often throw out a book just as scary as Stine's... but anyway.

This book . . . is just about like all of Stine's books... only with a hint of Survivor in it. But its far more than meats the eye. When i first got it i was soo thinking a copy-cat story line going with the Survivor TV Show (and im sure thats where Stine got the idea for this book) but it turns out to have a twist-a-plot that is rather entertaining. I suggest buying this book, but remember, its TO BE CONTINUED, so buy the whole 3some at one time.

Fear Games is a great book! It's about this girl named April Powers who gets an invitation in the mail that says she gets to go to an island where nobody lives. She and 11 other kids will get to compete in games. The kids will split up into teams and the team that wins the most games gets $100,000. When April gets to the island, she finds out she's not supposed to be there but she ends up going. For some reason, weird things start happening and everyone blames April. There are two more books in this trilogy. You'll never want to put this book down!
