Title: One Evil Summer
By: R.L. Stine
Reviewed By: ...

One Evil Summer is truly a thriller. When I was reading it, I got chills up m y spine. It is about a girl named Amanda. During the summer, she comes to a small town called Seahaven. Since she can't baby-sit her brother Kyle and her sister Merry, her mom hires a babysitter, Chrissy. She seems like miss perfect, but Amanda finds her a bit unique. The truth is that Chrissy wants to kill Amanda and her family. There were many things that I liked and disliked about this book. R.L. Stine made the book so interesting that you couldn't put it away. He described the events in such a way that you felt as if you were actually there. I also loved the way he described Amanda. She had such self confidence. She would stick up for what she saw. " You were floating!" she shrieked. "Don't deny it! I saw you!" She tried to tell her parents, but they wouldn't listen to her.
There were also many things that I disliked about the book. For example, I disliked the way some of the events were a little juvenile. At those points of the book, I would start to think what the author was thinking when he wrote this line. " Chrissy was floating closer! Closer!" The book could have been better.
My favorite part f the book was the ending. It unraveled everything. I thought that the end of the book was the scariest. It was hard to believe the ending....BR>This was a scary but great book.

In the book one evil summer Amanda Conklin's mom is looking for a mother's helper. She sends out an ad in the Seahaven Daily. Amanda can't help her mom because she is failing algebra and has to go to summer school. A girl named Chrissy answers the ad. As soon as she walks through the door, Amanda's cat, Mr. Jinx, starts to hiss at Chrissy. Also Salt and Pepper, her birds, stop singing and they usually sing. Little do the Conklins know that Chrissy is perfect, perfectly evil!! This book is perfect reading for anyone 10 and older. R.L. Stine has many climaxes and rising actions throughout the story. I highly recommend this book.

My favorite part f the book was the ending. It unraveled everything. I thought that the end of the book was the scariest. It was hard to believe the ending. This is because you find out that Chrissy was in coma before she worked for Amanda's family. She vanished one day and became mentally crazy. When everything was over, the last sentence really scares you. "And who was that girl standing in the driveway? The girl in the white sundress, her blond hair gleaming in the sunlight? The girl with one hand raised over her head, waving to them as they drove past? Hey mom- dad-, but when she turned back, the girl was gone."
This was a scary but great book.

One Evil Summer is one of my favorite Fear Street book series let me tell you a little bit about it

Summer at the beach and Amanda Conklin's stuck in summer school. Well, at least she doesent have to take care of her little brother and sister. Thats Chrissy's job.

Chrissy seems like the perfect babysitter- so kind and trushworthy. But Amanda soon discovers Chrissy's terrible secret. Babysitting is Chrissy's job but killing is what she does best!

I gave this book 5 stars and i hope u will too!!

ReAdEr BeWArE.... YoUr In FoR a ScArE!!!

Amanda suspects that there is something very wrong about Chrissy. She wants to make her parents believe that she is evil because she claims that she killed her pets. But Amanda's parents think Chrissy is very responsible, kind and sweet.

This book was soo amazing...Chrissy is totally weird and messed up! It was really scary! I loved this book so much the ending was cool!

I am the pickiest reader in the galaxie. Just recently have I begun reading scary books but i adore Fear Street! I have been reading them for a month and already have devoured 20 titles! This one is the BEST ONE YET! It is so violent and SCARY I loved it way to much! Go R.L. Stine!

This book was very good. There is a lot of violence in it thought. I would recomend it to teens 12 and up. ~Anna

Even though you already know who the villian is, it is still really good to figure all this stuff out. See, it's starts out, and you are really confused, but I don't want to tell you what about, trust me, read this book!!!

THIS IS THE BEST FEAR STREET BOOK STINE HAS WRITTEN AND I HAVE READ ABOUT 50!! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE!!
