I thought this book would be much better by the cover and the back summary. I wanted to read it badly, so i did. it only took me a day to finish it! It was good, yet very shocking. It isn't very scary, but pretty suspensful.
The book is about a girl named Maggie who moves into a creppy house on Fear street. When she goes into the room she chose, she finds an old fashioned pink canopy bed. She falls in love with it right away. but the minute she lies down in the bed, she starts seeing a girl getting murdered. But it got worse. the horrible dreams got more grusome, and when they started happening, Maggie was even more terrofied. Can Maggie stop it?
My advice: IF U LIKE MY SUMMARY FOR IT, THEN U WILL LIKE IT. READ IT:) ITS GREAT!

This book is just really to scare you it doesn't have a message it is just a thrilling story. i think other kids reading this will think it is a great book and will be looking farward to readin the rest of the R.L Stine books.
my oppion on this book is that it is very saspenceful and thrilling. Other kids reading this book will think it is a great book and will want to keep reading. and im planning on reading the rest of his great books.
the author did a very good job writing this book. he made it so that you want to keep reading it is vey thrilling a saspence ful and i hope he writs more in the future.

I liked this book, I thought the idea was original-having bad dreams about girl being killed in your bed.

I don't really get scared by RL Stine's books, but I have to admit, it was kinda creepy. I like how he describes how Maggie is trying to fall asleep and it's scary. We all can relate to that. I know sometimes when I'm trying to fall asleep, and I hear noises outside, it freaks me out.

The ending is kinda hard to believe for me, but I still never really saw it coming. Well I like the way he ended it, because I hate when the killer turns out to be a ghost or a vampire or something like that. this way, it was more realistic.

This was my first Fear Street book I read and it scared me! I was scared of going to sleep! If I would have a dream that would keep repeating I would stop sleeping! But I love this book anyway.

Sweet dreams...

A review by Michael
This was about a girl named Maggie Travers. Her and her family moved into a house on Fear Street, that was when the bad dreams started happening. Maggie and her sister Andrea are on a swim team, they are the best two people there. The dreams were happening every night. It was about a girl who was hurting Maggie's friends and she has to watch every night while she sleeps. Then the bad dream starts to come true and all the accidents start happenings.

What I liked most about this book is the fact that Maggie never gives up and tries to find out what the bad dream meant. The person that I liked most in this book was Maggie because she was never scared to find out what her dream meant and kept on trying to find out what it meant. The part I don't like is when her sister is never there for her and calls her a liar, and wont help her. In some of the chapters the author kind of went off on some stuff that wasn't needed. Maggie was really strong throughout the book and was really brave when it came to the bad dreams.

I would recommend this book to readers who like scary books. It is easy to read and follow.

i really only wanted to read this from the summer on the back.
i wanted to read very much so i bought it and i have it in my home library i finished it the first day i got it!
this is such a good book.
it is about to sisters who move to fear street with thier mom and thier dog. then maggie the oldest sister finds a beautiful canpoy bed in her room that the old family had left there. and then all the strange things start happening people start getting hurt and maggie keeps seeing a girl in her dreams get murdered....IN HER BED!!!!
i really like this book the ending is the biggest surprise ever you can never find out who is actually behind it till the end and boy is it ever strange!!!!
all in all this is another masterpiece by R.L Stine.

I thought that this book was really interesting in the beginning and middle but I thought that it has the worst ending. I felt that the ending to this was not the best and it was really stupid. Other than the ending, it thought that this was a good book.

Synopsis: The Travers family, consisting of Maggie, her sister Andrea, and their mother, has just moved to Fear Street. Though they are sisters, Maggie and Andrea do not get along, because Andrea is jealous of Maggie's popularity. At first, Maggie and Andrea hate the idea of moving to just the eerier Street, but Maggie's mood changes when she sees a beautiful canopy bed lying in her room.

Maggie loves her new bed, and decides to sleep in it. However, Maggie's attitude soon changes when she repeatedly starts getting a nightmare in her dreams of a girl being murdered in her bed.

Things take a turn for the worse when Maggie's friends Dawn Rodgers and Tiffany Hollings are brutally injured. Since Maggie, Dawn, Tiffany were selected to tryout for the 2001M All State Swimming Meet, people start suspecting Maggie as the one behind Tiffany and Dawn's attacks.

When Maggie finds out that a girl was really murdered in her room, she realizes her dreams are warning her to look out, and that she could be next in the killer's list. Can Maggie find out who the killer is before its too late?

Review: I felt this was one of the better books in the "Fear Street" series. I kept guessing who the killer could be, and I was really shocked to find out who it was in the end.

The whole story was nicely paced, and had a good mix of suspense and horror to it. Some parts were really spine tingling, like when Maggie sees Tiffany lying face down on the floor, or when she realizes someone following her in the caverns.

The only negative part about reading this book was that the ending was too rushed in my opinion. I felt like the killer's explanations and reasons were all written off in one page so that the author could finish the climax. Even though the ending gave me shivers, I wished that Stine had written out the reason for the killer's attack with more detail.

Other than that, I thought this was a very suspenseful book and enjoyed reading it.

I read a lot of R.L books and loved almost all of them. This book was no exception. It had a great plot line great cliff hanger great everything. And the ending like all R.L Stine books was a twist. If your looking for a suspense book i would highly recommend this book

This was one of the first books I had read! I started reading Fear Street books in 6th grade. This was a very good book! One of the best! Fire Game is still first! But this is VERY VERY GOOD!
