Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 5-9-A pulp novel marked by tedium and cliche instead of suspense. Four friends who regularly use a teen phone line, 1-900-PARTY ON, are stalked by an unsavory caller. The killer leaves three victims in his grisly wake, the police chief doesn't believe the plucky heroines, and the girls take matters into their own hands. A kindly, eccentric school custodian becomes a prime suspect, but the true perpetrator has been driven to murder by his rich, overbearing parents. So much for character development and motivation. These parents also appear to lack powers of observation since they fail to notice serial murders going on in their own home. The plot is disjointed, lurching from mall to school hallway to crime scene and back again. Hang up on this one.
