Book Description

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 6-8 --One of the better horror stories around. Teenaged Kelly, a highly likable character, is more adept at repairing cars than at taking final exams. Someone is stalking her--stealing the inside of her chemistry book or unscrewing the table where she's to take her English final--and she doesn't know why. The story line develops consistently, the mood of mystery is sustained throughout, and characterizations of both major and minor characters are well drawn. A book that will have even reluctant readers asking for more. --Alice Cronin, Mountainside Public Library, NJ

5.0 out of 5 stars I give Final Exam 10 fingers up!!!!!, September 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Final Exam (Paperback)

Not only was this book heartwarming, but suspense-filled. The cover was a little weird though because the school on the cover says Columbine High, and I read this book 1 week after the Columbine tragedy. The events in the story were similar to the real events at Columbine. I read this book in 1 day because I couldn't put it down.

I read this book when I was in elementary school and remember how I couldn't put it down. I wanted to read it again, so I have now added it to my book collection. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves page-turners!

Point keeps churning them out! This is yet another of their (seemingly endless) series instalations, every one of which is always very readable! When I was in Yr 7 these things were all the rage, your "coolness" was defined on how many of these you had. I still read them, try to pick up on the little clues, this one's slightly more generic than usual but who cares!!
