This review is from: Halloween Party (Mass Market Paperback)

Sam Genetti, a bright, seemingly popular high school senior is counting her blessings. Raised by a single father, she is adept at dodging rules and curfews. She is also dating a popular boy named Wyatt and is also close friends with a motherless boy named Gus. Sam and Gus have bonded since they were in kindergarten. They were the only children in their class who were being raised by their fathers.

Sam has a Halloween birthday and naturally all sorts of tricks targeted at her come out. Wyatt's former girlfriend and her snotty clique harass Sam; a mysterious woman breaks into Sam's home and leaves devastating messages for her. The same mysterious woman leaves anonymous notes in Sam's locker; one such message was a frightening secret about Sam.

Who is this woman? And why is she targeting Sam? Who else is involved? A shocking conclusion at a Halloween/birthday party for Sam is an open closet door for many skeletons to come dancing out. Sam unmasks her tormentor and the skeletons can finally be buried once and for all.

A masterfully written mystery that all ages will enjoy. Staub has a real gift for keeping her readers guessing. Each time one reads a Wendy Corsi Staub book, there's always that hope that Staub will keep on writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Sweet and Fun Book, March 22, 2007

By

This review is from: Halloween Party (Mass Market Paperback)

This is a sweet book and I love the warm atmosphere. Samantha lives with her father, who deeply loves and cares about her. Her best male friend, Gus, also cares about her. And her boyfriend Wyatt does, too.

Her birthday is on Halloween, which is just around the corner. Her friends are planning a Halloween/birthday party. Halloween is almost here and someone is pulling pranks on her: phone calls, notes, even a house break-in. Who is doing this to her? Is it her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend? And why are they doing it? Is it a harmless Halloween joke, or is it something to be worried about?

The plot/story line is very good and entertaining. All the pieces of the story fit together perfectly. The atmosphere is cozy. The horror part is thrilling and keeps you on your toes. The mystery part keeps you wondering. This book is so fun. The whole book is absolutely perfect.

This talented author is a winner. I would definitely recommend this book to both teens and adults - to anybody who wants an entertaining book.

5.0 out of 5 stars She always amazed me, May 21, 2001

This review is from: Halloween Party (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book at an early age and was amazed and scared. My first grade teacher is the mother of Wendy Corsi Staub and she once came to my elementary school which is where I was first introduced to her. She has a great ability to write and she has always kept me interested. This book had mystery and horror in one, it was great!! I know for a fact that her mother is proud and I also know for a fact that I will be a loyal fan.
