Hi my name is dj and i am 10 years old and i enjoyed the book headless paperboy by Howard Hopkins. I rate the book 5 stars out of 5. It was funny at some times and bone chilling at other times. You should try this book i give Howard credit.

Howard Hopkins does it again with another clever tale! This time with a

tamed down view of horror.

October Williams moves from Philadelphia to New Salem, Maine. Mom has

gotten a divorce and needs the space. Thus October is the new kid stuck

in a new school. Of course he gets the school bully mad at him that first day.

How could he not? Even worse, he comes up against a town legend in the

living, uh - dying, flesh. After all, every new kid should be chased by

a Headless Paperboy to get his year started off right.

October gets befriended by the school oddballs, the Nightmare Club.

Meanwhile he has to keep running bottom over end from bully, Fonzie

wannabee, Jimmy Gibbens. Poor October Williams, he finds himself in the

middle of the supernatural and a bit of discrimination.

Buzzy

I'll admit it. I'm old. I'm far beyond being a young adult reader. But having read Howard Hopkins other works, I decided to give The Headless Paperboy a try...and couldn't stop reading! It's so cute and well written, plus it has a good lesson in it for teens and preteens (without being preachy). So while I recommend The Nightmare Club (#1 The Headless Paperboy) to young adult readers, I also think adults would enjoy it, too. I can't wait to read #2 in the series!The Nightmare Club: #1 The Headless Paperboy
