A Great Book
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...

Secrets
I disagree with Allison Muller about her book review. I liked that book a lot! I thought the book was interesting. I know we all have different opinions, but many people who read it would like it. Who murdered who? Come on that was obvious, if you were paying attention. This book is not about Kung Foo fighting to have more action.

kept me interested but not one of the best
i love R. L. Stine but this book was a little lacking. it was a little strange and somewhat unbelievable. i know that Stine is a much better writter than this book shows but i guess that it just wasn't much in my taste. all in all it was still worth the couple hours that it took to read. this is more of a book that i would recomend checking out of the library instead of buying though. not to offend, but i think it would be better if you were younger not because being young means being stupid but that you have a better imagination and things are more believable. This would be really scarry for someone about 10 or maybe 11. I'm too old to be reading Fear Street books but still like them. So shoot me!
