Paul Mendez's ghost comes back to haunt Melissa Dryden, as he knows that she killed him. Melissa has no recollection of his murder and is terrified that he will avenge himself by taking her life. When she meets the "real" Paul at a dance, she begins to understand that his death will occur in the future, and she and the ghost Paul unsuccessfully try to change the future. Readers will identify with Melissa, who is caring and compassionate, while Paul is a typical tough guy. Still, his is a well-drawn characterization. In other titles in this series, Fear Street is described as a menacing place; the appropriate details help create and sustain that mood. That description is glossed over in this book, diminishing the suspense. While this could be purchased as an addition to the series, it's better to hook new readers with one of the earlier books first. --Molly Kinney, North Dade Regional Lib . , Miami, FL

Another Gripping Horror by the Stephen King-for-YoungAdults.
An angry ghosts haunts Melissa in her bedroom!He claims SHE killed him, but she has no memory of this!
Oddly, she then meets a living version of the avengeful ghost boy.And he is even scarier and meaner than his doppelganger.
How will Melissa protect herself from the living Paul and the dead one?How will she prove that she is NOT the killer?And why are there 2 of them anyway?
I could not keep my head out of it!

A really good story by R.l Stine, more a romance
I'm one of those ex- R.L Stine Holic.. I have 125 books of his (embarrassed expression on face). It starts off weel, and as it goes through to the end it is very well written. It has a great ending.. if only it hadn't of happened.. the thing to the ghost cause he rocked :) *shameful wink* ok.. yeah and grab some tissues, waterworks alert :) Also, if you are an ex- R.L.stine reader and are an older reader, 16-18, and arelooking for something that is more in your range, try his book, Superstitions, Very good book :)

Haunted By R.L Stine
I've read some good books and some bad books, but I have never read a book that sucked me right in and jumped to the main part like Haunted by R.L Stine. I enjoyed reading this book because it gave me the chills. For example, when Melissa is in her room asleep and wakes up to find a guy standing beside her bedroom window. When her parents come into her bedroom they can't seem to find any one inside or outside her bedroom window. Could she have been dreaming it or was it real? What about when Melissa is driving to her friend's house and hears her named whispered three times in her ear? Once she starts to freak out something takes control over her steering wheel and swerves to the right. She tries to gain control of the wheel when it swerves to the right again. Who or what is taking over the wheel when Melissa is all by her self in the car?
Through out the book Melissa tries to find out who this mysterious guy is and what it is he wants from her and why? R.L Stine has written other books but not as good and mysterious for teen as Haunted. That is why I enjoyed reading this book; all it's excitement and mystery.
