Both of my daughters love Junie B. Jones books. And this one was no exception. They were completely happy and entertained with this book.

Once I started our own collection of titles that are used in the Accelerated Reader program, my kids' excuses for not doing assigned reading all but evaporated. Prior, it was "I forgot my book" "I have to turn in my old book and get a new one" and a thousand variations. Now, my kids can pick one of any number of titles I have on hand already

Junie b. is a very funny girl.I love reading her books! Sometimes she catches herself in the principal's office, but they're good friends. I've read every single JBJ book!

You simply can't go wrong with the Junie B Jones series of books. They truly make you laugh out loud. My daughter read this book in one day!

I have to say, it's sort of nice to be out of the entire Vampire Mountain story and back into the wild world of planet Earth. This story jumps quite a few years since the last book, but that's no mind, it helps explain some rather odd character development in our hero Darren.

But yes, the wild is the best way to explain this as the fantasy infusion pumps madly into tales of prophecies and battles.

It's juicy, macabre, and lots of fun, just as I have come to expect from this author.

Having this book to finish out the series was great and not having to wait is great. Thank you so much. Can always count on you.

I won't go on about the story-line, like the other reviews. I just want to say this is the 2nd book series I have ever read, aside from Harry Potter. These books are great and have entertained me through and through. I never thought I'd be a reader, I used to hate to read. This series has changed me. My 11 year old nephew, soon to be 12, has also finally been inspired to read due to this series, Cirque du Freak. Thanks to Darren Shan for bringing them to us.

The main characters are Mr.Crepsley and Darren Shan. Mr. Crepsley is Darren's mentor. Darren the main character is also the Author. This book takes place on Vampire Mt.
Cirque Du Freak has great characters because Mr. Crepsley is not a normal mentor he is a VAMPIRE mentor. He is a vampire and Darren is a half vampire. Mr. Crepsley blooded Darren. Steve was Darren's best friend until Darren "betrayed him". Steve thinks Darren became a vampire to stab Steve in the back because Steve's dream was to be a vampire and Darren stole his dream from him.
Cirque Du Freak is a very suspenseful book. Darren Shan wrote, " Time seemed to collapse... There was a sharp sensation in my stomach... Steve crowed, " Now I have you! Now you're going to die."
There is no other series like this series. I highly recommend this series. If you read this series it will make only make sense if you read it in order.

Cirque Du Freak: Hunters of the dusk
By: Darren Shan


The book that I read was Cirque Du Freak Hunters of the dusk. This book is about vampires and hoe they are at war with a different kind of vampire. The name for the different kind of vampires and called vampaneze.

I would recommend this book to a person who likes action and adventure books. This book is about three vampires that have to kill this vampaneze lord and they get four encounters with the lord and if they don't kill him the vampires will lose the war. The main character of the story is a half-vampire named Darren Shan. He has help by two full blooded vampires and a little person which is an undead.

If this book sounds interesting to you u I would recommend it it's a good book if you are interested in fiction books and you are interested in vampires before you read this book you should read the other six books before this one.

This book is a sniper's look at the assassination and the scene.
Mr.Roberts theory of "crossfire" or "triangulation of fire" is excellent,especially considering his military experience.
I think he may be correct about the location of the hit teams.
Were the hit teams made up of a Corsican assassin and a member of ZR/Rifle? The author isn't the only writer that has offered that theory.
Craig Roberts theory about what happened to the President's body aboard Air Force 1 is intriguing! His investigation into the aircraft and strange activity related to the flight was good also.

What is debatable is the identity of those responsible for the murder.
It seems most likely that the mafia was working with the CIA to committ the crime with J.Edgar Hoover working for the mafia to cover it up.

This book is worth reading for the insight offered by the author considering his experience and knowledge.

I will just quote from the book itself:
""How in the world could anyone look at that {Zapruder} film and say that the fatal head strike had come from the rear? The so-called experts who stated that the rearward jerk of Kennedy's head was due to 'muscle reaction,' 'jet force from an erupting bullet' or some other violation of the laws of physics, had obviously never served in combat, where witnessing high-velocity bullet strikes was commonplace..."

"Some of the supporters of the Warren Commission...stated that the bullet came from the rear because the eruption of brain matter and blood came out of the front of the president's skull. I saw something else. In a head shot, the exit wound, due to the buildup of hydrostatic pressure, explodes in a conical formation in the down-range direction of the bullet. Yet in the Zapruder film, I could plainly see that the eruption was not a conical shape to the front of the limo, but instead was an explosion that cast fragments both up and down in a vertical plane, and side to side in a horizontal plane. There was only one explanation for this: an exploding or 'frangible' bullet. Such a round explodes on impact--in exactly the manner depicted in the film."

A seasoned veteran (sniper) of the Vietnam war stood at the `snipers-nest' and released it was all a lie; nuff said.

I have been researching the JFK assassination since it happened and I have to tell you that if I were to compile a book of information pertaining to the assassination this would have been the book I would have written.
It is absolutely packed with info that we basically knew and then some that we really didn't know.
It is very well written and answers a multitude of questions that needed to be answered, no wonder the world will never know the truth about this and other things in world history that for the most part just gets brushed aside.
If you really want or need to know the truth then this is the book for you!

This book is definitely for the Kennedy addict. It is riveting and spellbinding. I could not put it down. Craig Roberts gives a historical background that expands more than 230 years. His explanations are clear, concise and very believable. He spells out exactly who orchestrated John Kennedy's assassination and the reasons behind it, both of which most people have never heard before. Every American should read this book because the entity responsible for Kennedy's death is alive and well and still operating without impunity within the U.S. government. You will not be disappointed.

Immediately upon reading this book I knew in my heart that the author had hit upon a highly probable answer to the question that has been lurking in the minds of millions since that dreadful day in Dallas. Now I am not going to go into specifics in this review, rather I am going to relate in my own way why I think the author is right and I would encourage you to get a copy of this book and read it and form your own opinion.

If you look at a magician, his primary purpose is not to entertain you with feats of magic, but more along the lines of deceiving you into believing that which he (the magician) presents to you as the truth and in doing so, makes you believe that which he wants you to believe. Actually I guess a better way of saying it is that the magician presents his deception to you in such a way that your subconscious convinces your consciousness to believe wholeheartedly in that which was presented to you by the magician. Now I know that this seems to be way of course with the subject matter of this review, but trust me, it is actually dead on.

Now we all know that a certain group, or collection, of individuals was responsible for the death of Kennedy. Now do we know for certain who they were and their names? No, but we do know that they did exist and I am sure that some of them may still be alive to this day, although the longer that time passes the greater the probability that they will expire from old age without every being tried for their crimes, at least as we know it.

Now if your ultimate goal is the eradication of a certain person, it really doesn't matter to you how that eradication takes place, or who does it, as long as the goal is accomplished. Of course you wouldn't want any of it traced back to you, which is why you want to have someone else do it. Or better yet, have someone else do it with a motive so far removed from your own that the odds of anyone even remotely suspecting you would be likened to the proverbial needle in a haystack and someone that will kill the person for you without even knowing that they did. All the time thinking that they were killing that person for their own reasons. Now to better enhance your chances of never being suspected, let's multiply that by several times and you now have a smokescreen of epic proportions with the finger pointing at several different organizations or persons with each one having a slightly different motive. None of which are even close to your own. See the beauty of it already?

In law enforcement there is an old saying that goes something like this, "If you want to find out who did it, follow the money." And that is exactly what the author does.

Let's look at the most common theories on who was responsible for killing Kennedy. Please take note that I did not say who killed Kennedy, but who was responsible for killing Kennedy. Remember what I said earlier about getting someone else to do it for you.

1. Lee Harvey Oswald - acting alone RIDICULOUS
2. The Mafia - NOPE
3. The CIA - NOPE
4. The Cubans - NOPE
5. The Russians - NOPE
6. Aliens from outer space - I KNOW REALLY RIDICULOUS, BUT AREN'T THE OTHERS JUST AS BAD!

Now I am not implying that some of these didn't have a role in it, I am just saying that they are not responsible for it. Who is? Well purchase this book and read it. I believe that if you do that, this book will more than answer that question.

All of those people and/or groups listed are merely the smoke, and you all know that where there's smoke there's fire, and this book shows you the fire.

This is not a 5-star book. The author must have a lot of friends who will write a review for him. Not only is the book lacking in substance, but I just read an opinion of this author about Gov. Sarah Palin where he claims she is an idiot. He doesn't mention that the other candidate for VP, Joe Biden, told Katie Couric that FDR was president during the 1929 stock market crash (sorry folks, FDR came much later) or that Biden said FDR appeared on television in 1929 (sorry folks, TV came much later). No, author Richard Reeves attacked Sarah Palin as being historically challenged when Biden is the more historically challenged. You want to trust an author like that to write a book of substance about John F. Kennedy? Don't waste your money.

This book is a well-written chronological account of Kennedy's presidency. Minimized is the personal gossip and inuendo while highlighted is the decision-making style of JFK and his entourage as events unfold. You get a sense of what it's like being thrust into the vortex of events for which no president is totally prepared. The writer attempts to reveal President Kennedy as both more and less than the Camelot charisma would have you believe. Thoroughly enjoyable and informative must-read addition.

Jackie Kennedy is said to have given copies of this book to her children with the advice, "If you want to know your father, he is in this book." Reeves was said to be surprised at her endorsement and commented. "I wasn't terribly flattering to Jackie in the book."
Well worth the read.

As the leading civilian authority on the U.S. Secret Service (and President Kennedy's interaction with the agency), I was much interested in this book by Richard Reeves. I am a big fan of Mr. Reeves---in addition to a great book on Richard Nixon, he is a great writer and speaker. You can't go wrong in purchasing this fine book. vince palamara

After reading this book, I feel that I come out understanding the Kennedy presidency in better terms. While Sorenson and Schlesinger wrote impeccable accounts on the admininstration, they are somewhat distorted, and make Kennedy out to be a hero. This well-written and higly researched account, I feel to be the definintive account of the administration. It shows the flaws of President Kennedy, and the true personality of the man in the White House, his battle with Addison's disease. Kennedy was a very inexperienced leader at the beginning of his presidency, and I don't feel that it really dawned on him until the Bay of Pigs and the Cuban Missile Crisis.

This detailed account covers his meetings with Premier Krushchev, how he dealt with South Vietnam, and the apparent sickness that came upon him after learning of the death of Ngo Din Diem. You also see that Kennedy was very much a womanizer, almost to the point of obsession it seems. This book deserves much attention, and for anybody who has never read about President Kennedy, an excellent start.

First of all, let's get it out of the way. I really love the Kennedys. I enjoy most of the books about them and always learn something of each (yes, even the crazy conspiracy books). This book was a little different. I learned a lot. I enjoyed how it was put together. It starts with the 1950's and then takes 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963 and then Bobby Alone as separate topics. It has stories from their growing years in each as if looking back to show why they were doing what they were doing at that time in their life. I really got in the Bobby Alone section from 1964 to 1968. It showed how Bobby totally changed his views and what he went through in order to come to the conclusion that he needed to run for President. Mr. Mahoney does drag out the New Orleans, Cuban, and Mafia stuff but it's ok. Most nowadays do. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a well rounded book on the Kennedy boys.

ive read other books on JFK and none of the other books can quite compair to the realism in this book. the things i didnt understand in the first few books where explained more in depth than before and i came to realize that half of the things that kennedy was blammed for after his death were not acctually his fault. for example, vietnam.

this is not a biography,it's a fiction and it's stupid, boring.
the author was surely drunk when he wrote it.
this book is a shame to the legacy of the kennedys.
there are a few photos.
buy abetter book like: rfk and his times....

Richard Mahoney is to be commended for putting together a highly readable and cogent account of the life and times of JFK and RFK, as well as their dealings with the Mafia (that led to the death of JFK). Well done.
[...]

I was raised in a conservative household and consider myself conservative in many ways (though I'm a registered independent). That said, I am 29 years old and both these men were dead before I was even born. However I have had a fascination with JFK & RFK since I first started studying history and the impact that the changes in the 1960's would have on future America. The picture on the cover is very telling about how different these brothers were -- black and white. What this book is really about is how co-dependent these two men were, with Jack more so upon Bobby. Many disturbing facts have come out about the Kennedy brothers in the last twenty years. Much of it does bother me as a moral and religious person. But that doesn't erase the fact that Jack and Bobby were very intelligent and gifted men and when it is all said and done, their idealism and determination positively impacted our nation's history.

Scott moves to shadyside after his last girlfriend was killed in a accident. Crystal and her friend Lynne are obsessed on their looks to impress scott but the only thing that impressed scott is how he wants them to die. Will Crystal and her friend know the real scott or will they love him to death ?

Scott is new to Shadyside. Crystal and her friends like Scott soon. He becomes famous to Shadyside High later. But what everyone doesn't know is that Scott murdered his girlfriend last year.

If you like thrillers, here' a real thrill. It's been a while since I've read it and I've read TONS of his books- and trust me, if I ever start selling stuff on here, I promice you they'll be in amazeing condishion, try lookin' new! Anyways, to the book. It takes place in two points of view, both the girl and boys! From what I remember, it has a pretty good ending- but, again, I do low standerds for good endings. He write okay endings and Lurlene McDaniel (my other fave author)has death endings. Still, she's great, you should check her out! So is R.L., just get the book, great adition to your collection!

The first time I read it, I didn't like it. The fact I knew who the killer was kinda took all the suspense out of it. But then, when I read it the 2nd time, I ended up actually liking it.

Scott is a weird character. I wear make up and dress up too, and honestly, I would get really freaked out if somebody was trying to kill me because of that.

i liked the characters. I liked how the relationship between Crystal and her sister Melinda is portrayed. And I liked how RL Stine gives us an insight to Scott's twisted mind.

I wouldn't recommend this book if you like suspense, but if you read for the plot and characters, you should definately read it.

The Boy Next Door, by R.L.Stine, is a very unique book to the Fear Street series.
It describes Scott, the boy next door, who is a mad killer, and three girls who are madly in love with Scott.
Scott is a truly creepy dude. He is a football star, but hates girls who wear makeup or dress skimply. In his mind, it is his duty to kill all the girls who do these rather normal things.
Scott is the whole point of this book, and Stine makes him a truly scary and mad character.

REVIEWED BY: Wayne Walker

Ellen Tebbits is a third grade school girl who finally finds a best friend in Austine Allen, the new student in her class who has moved from California, primarily because the two share a terrible secret. In fact, the two become such close companions that they decide to dress as twins on the first day of fourth grade. Unfortunately, Mrs. Allen is not nearly as good a seamstress as Mrs. Tebbits, and Austine's dress looks terrible. The two argue about it, and thinking that Austine has untied her sash, Ellen slaps Austine in the face. Ellen wants desperately to be Austine's friend again and later finds out that it was actually Otis Spofford who untied her sash, but she is too proud to apologize to Austine. Will the two ever be able to make up?
I have read many of Beverly Cleary's books for children, and I will try to be honest. I really liked the three books about Ralph Mouse. The books about Henry Huggins are fairly good. The books about Ramona Quimby, two of which were Newbery Honor books, are, in my estimation, not as good, but they are still all right and probably appeal more to girls than boys. I did not care for the only book for which Clearly won the Newbery Award, Dear Mr. Henshaw. Personally, I thought that it was depressing, but a lot of people have found it useful. However, I did enjoy reading Ellen Tebbits. It presents a realistic picture of elementary school life and deals sensitively with some issues that children of that age face, yet is written in an interesting style that will capture the fancy of young readers.

First published in 1951, "Ellen Tebbits" is one of author Beverly Cleary's first books. Although Ellen and the other characters on Tillamook Street soon gave way to the more popular Henry Huggins, Beezus and Ramona, these early stories are charming as well. This volume deals with Ellen finding a new best friend, Austine Allen, who is a perfect ally as Ellen wrestles with various pre-teen anxieties. Ellen is a nice kid, well-adjusted and sincere, but a bit self-conscious. However, when a minor disagreement with Austine escalates unexpectedly and the two girls stop talking to one another, Ellen experiences raw rejection, regret and loneliness. She also has to contend with the half-bratty, half-bullying attentions of Otis Spofford, a troublemaking young boy who is the hero of 1953's "Otis Spofford," which picks up where this book leaves off. If you've enjoyed other Cleary classics, you'll like this one, too, though be aware that her touch isn't quite as light here as on later books. (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)

Very upset with my purchase! The item was suppossed to be like new and the book had writing in the front cover (marker with someone's name) and both the front and back covers were very torn! I would not recommend buying something from this person again!

Having a best friend is one of the most crucial factors of growing up. It's essential to have someone who is always around to share secrets, share clothes, and spend time with. When you're without a best friend, however, everything is in shambles. Just ask third-grader Ellen Tebbits.

Ellen Tebbits had always been blessed with a best friend in the form of her next-door neighbor, Nancy Jane. But when Nancy Jane moves away, Ellen is left to her own devices. An only child, Ellen can't rely on hanging around with brothers or sisters, so must make do with entertaining herself - which proves harder than she'd ever imagined. All she truly wants is to have a best friend who lives on Tillamook Street, like herself, or somewhere close by. Enter Austine Allen. Austine Allen is a new girl from California who does nothing but talk about how wonderful the sunshine state where she grew up is. But she may just be the perfect recruit for Ellen's new best friend. After meeting in Mrs. Spofford's ballet class, Ellen and Austine realize that they have much more in common than they ever thought possible - including the fact that they're both forced to wear itchy, wool underwear during the chillier months. Hiding the same secret - about the wool underwear - is the ice breaker they both need to confide in one another; and, before they know it, Ellen and Austine are the best of friends. Everything they do, they do with one another - from riding horses, to baking brownies, and even clapping erasers at school. As if having someone by your side to experience all kinds of new things wasn't wonderful enough, Ellen learns that navigating the troubling waters of social situations and growing up is simplified when you have a best friend by your side - even putting up with pesky boys like the cowboy-clad Otis Spofford. But when Ellen does something unimaginable, Austine instantly stops speaking to her, and Ellen is unsure of how to get back on good terms with her one-time best friend. Now she's forced to come up with a plan to prove to Austine just how sorry she truly is, and win back her friendship. But she's quickly learning that saying sorry can be harder than she ever believed.

Beverly Cleary has imagination. But even more than imagination, she knows exactly how to weave tough situations - such as saying sorry and coming to terms with your mistakes - into words that are clear cut, concise, and easy-to-understand for the young/middle readers that her books are geared for. Which is exactly what she does within the pages of ELLEN TEBBITS. Cleary has created an assortment of characters who are humorous and fun, yet must face difficult decisions, and life-changing moments which are extremely relatable to readers. Ellen is an adorable character, whose passion for a best friend is appealing and fun. Her constant run-ins with the infuriating Otis Spofford provide moments of laugh-out-loud humor; while her friendship with Austine gives the reader an up-close-and-personal glimpse into a true friendship, and the turmoil that can accompany it. Once again, Cleary has crafted a children's novel that bridges gaps, and provides a little something for readers of all ages. ELLEN TEBBITS is a winner!

A caveat: this is a marvelous book -- I adore it. However, the actress reading it delivers the worst performance of a children's book I've ever heard. For reasons known only to her and her director, she chose to voice Austine as a geriatric New York male with a learning disability. Every time Austine spoke, it completely ruined the book for my family. Even my KIDS noticed how incongruous the voice of Austine was: "Mommy, why does Austine sound like an old man? What's wrong with her?" Truly, truly awful. So be warned -- a fabulous story, a horrific read.

My kids have all Judy Moody and Stink books. They love them, and I know for the fact that they help kids who struggle with reading in 3rd grade. They are easy to read and have a good story, are funny and appealing to that age group. A must have!

I am transribing for my son who needs his voice heard. "I thought that Juudy Moody had a bad expereince on the first day of school. I related to the school part, as I go to school, too. My favorite part was her crazy collage. I made one, too. We hung it in my room. The book's illustration are only black and white. However, I do not find this disappointing. I like the character Frank; his room is filled with weird collections. I would would definitely recommend this book and other Judy Moody books as well."

The Judy Moody book Judy Moody is In a Very Bad Mood, by Megan McDonald, is a great book. Some of the characters' names are funny like Stink, Judy's brother, Mouse, the cat, and Rocky, Judy's friend. The book talks about Rocky and Judy relationship and how they had their ups and downs. My favorite pet in the book is Mouse the cat. Anybody who likes books with funny characters would like the Judy Moody series.

Judy Moody by Mcdonald Megar is a good book! It is about judy moods sometimes they are good and sometimes they are bad. she has iots of adventures. read this book if you like to be amused.

The first book in the Judy Moody series is a quick, reasonably humorous read that follows the escapades of third-grader Judy as she goes pet shopping, lectures her younger brother, Stink, about moon rocks, and even goes to the birthday party of her nemesis, Frank Who Eats Paste, all while searching for just the right stories and items for her Me Collage.

The younger readers who use our library quite like this book and the ones that come after it. It doesn't have much depth, though -- even for juvenile lit., the characters are somewhat flat, and the episodes tend to lurch toward their conclusions. Kids looking for another chapter book fix will probably read this and enjoy it, but it likely won't stay in their memory when it's over.

Ralph is tired of his relatives trying to make him share his beloved motorcycle. And he's afraid zooming through the mud puddles in the lobby of the inn where he lives has gotten his friend Matt in trouble. So with the help of his human friend Ralph runs away, to Irwin J. Sneed Elementary School, where there are long halls without carpet to ride on and plenty of good things to eat.
Except that the students of Room 5 turns Ralph into a class project and an article in the town paper accuses the school of being infested with mice! And worst of all now Ralph's motorcycle is broken and he has no way to get back home.
Ralph S. Mouse is a classic kid's chapter book. While amusing at times I found Ralph to be pouty and selfish, not exactly a hero. Cleary does mention the reality of mice (being vermin and all), but doesn't quite manage to set Ralph apart, other than his intelligence and his abilities to ride a motorcycle and speak (but only to certain, lonely children).
My son enjoyed being read chapters of Ralph at night, but didn't connect with Ralph's pouting or anger. He was most interested in the beginning and the end, with a lull of interest in the surly middle parts.
Ralph would probably most interest children who are also feeling surly, angry, and like the world is against them. Its strength is in showing kids that they're not alone in those feelings and teaching them to look for ways to solve their problems, because they might not be as bad as it seems.

When I was much younger I read:Ben and Me: An Astonishing Life of Benjamin Franklin by His Good Mouse Amos It was pretty much historically correct and give a unique twist to a biography.
This book is meant for young readers, but is pretty interesting for an adult
to see the world from the point of view of a mouse.
This mouse talks , has a motor cycle and later a sports car.
He goes to school with his friend Ryan and learns as well as teaches
the children. A book for you four or five year old to read to them and
for your six and seven year to read for themselves maybe?
It is good because it doesn't offend the parents, much, ha, ha...

The product arrived in a timely fashion. My 3rd graders needed a break from the basal series our school uses. They loved the Ralph S. Mouse story. The activities from the guide were beneficial and enticing for the students.
The vocabulary development was particularly good.

This story, Ralph S. Mouse is really a wonderful book for readers of all ages. It's a very nice story that is funny and entertaining. Great way to pass up time, or to read to enjoy. Highly recommended!

Many children have grown up reading books by Beverly Cleary. They couldn't have better companions as this author's stories are warm, entertaining, and filled with ideas that young readers can wrap their minds around.

Some of our favorites are in the Ramona series, which were named Newbery Honor books and also adapted for television. So great is this author's popularity that her stories appear in 14 languages and her characters often become a part of our language. A case in point is Ralph S. Mouse whose adventures have been shown on ABC-TV.

In this particular story there is no longer peace and quiet at the Mountain View Inn where Ralph lives. His pal, the handyman, is in trouble because there are mice at the Inn, so Ralph thinks he'd best skedaddle.

Fortunately for Ralph he has some young friends, children who understand him. One of these is Ryan who agrees to take Ralph and his motorcycle to school with him. Just think of those polished floors on which Ralph can ride his motorcycle!

Unfortunately, his motorcycle is broken when Ryan and a classmate get into a shoving match. Further, Ralph is put on display. School isn't so great after all. What's a mouse, even one as smart as Ralph to do?

Actor B. D. Wong made his Broadway debut in M. Butterfly. For this performance he received the Tony Award, Drama Desk Award, Outer Critics Circle Award, Clarence Derwent Award, and Theater World Award. He is the only actor to be so honored. He merits another shelf of awards for his narration of Ralph S. Mouse. He brings whimsy and life to his reading. For fans of Ralph, Mr. Wong also reads Mouse and the Motorcycle and Runaway Ralph.

All are highly recommended!

I am 23 and i still love fear street books...this one is a great one you would never expect whats going to happen next...i received this quickly also the seller was kate sooo buy from her

This is one of it not the best of R. L. Stine's Fear Street collection. This book is a rollercoaster of action, just when you think what is happening as a chapter ends a surprise at the start of the next chapter turns the story on its head. This book would also make a very good B grade teen horror/thriller movie.

In Halloween Party there's a new girl in school named Justine and she is undoubtedly the hottest girl the boys have ever seen. They have all tried to get to know her but she brushes them off, all the girls want to be her friend for the obvious benefits of picking up the boys she brushes off. However they don't seem to be any more successful getting close to her than the boys are. So when Justine sends out invitations to nine of them (no partners aloud) to attend her Halloween party they sure aren't going to turn her down. She is very strict on the guest list, no one else can come and there seems to be no correlation between the guests, they are not part of one group, not all are friends, in fact some are even enemies. It seems a strange combination of potential friends or is it? As the party kicks off Justine and her uncle (the chaperone) have a lot of tricks in store for her guests. The wimps and jocks of the group also have a plan to scare each other. As the frights get more and more realistic and terrifying it seems someone is taking scaring the others to death rather literally!

Justine Cameron is inviting only nine people for her all night Halloween party. There's a team for the jocks and a team for the wimps. During the party, Justine has a few surprises like hunting for scary items. When someone is murdered, the fun stops and terror catches on them. You will find out why only nine people are invited to the party if you read the book.

This book is always keeping you on your toes you just never know whats going to happen next.It is one of the best books I have ever read! It's about this girl named justine and she is new at school and she wants to fit in so she decides to throw a party for some of the kids she wanted to get to know more. So she did and while they were at the party many strange things were happening like people went missing and even some one had died and you would never guess who was the master mind of all these strange things happening until you read the end of the book.

R. L. Stine's Fear Street books are awesome. I have read many of them. Even though I am not a teen, I enjoy them. I don't think I will ever get too old for them. Sometimes we just need a fun, young, less serious book.
