Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 5-8?In order to meet girls, Riley Tulane and some of his friends from summer drama camp decide to start an Internet chat group dealing with acting. Six of the participants become friends and are accepted into a prestigious drama seminar during spring break. When Natalie invites the other five to spend the weekend before the seminar at her mother's inn in the Green Mountains of Vermont, all accept. During the weekend, a severe storm knocks out the power and phone lines and Natalie's mother is stuck in town. The teens use this spooky setting to stage a murder in order to get Riley to confess to stealing their credits for his acting resume. But when one of the group is really murdered, the others must find the killer or face the same fate. This ninth entry in the series is sure to be popular. The story is suspenseful and unpredictable. The narrator's realistic voice adds to the book's appeal. This one will be hard to keep on the shelf.?Michele Snyder, Chappaqua Public Library, NY

Product Description
//WELCOME TO THE JUNGLE/

The Internet...a world without rules, without boundaries. Where you can be anyone you want, whoever you aren't. And it's all just a click away....

Riley Tulane is a member of a chat room called The Six. Made up entirely of acting students, this group -- four guys and two girls -- decides to meet at a secluded Vermont inn before heading to a prestigious drama seminar in New York City.

Nothing is more idyllic than a long winter weekend in the Green Mountains. Then suddenly, one member of The Six is found dead. How far can one actor's ambitions for stardom go? Will the curtain fall on this weekend before another person dies?

Different people in different places. The one thing they have in common is a new address on the Internet: danger.com. Where all your fears come true.

5.0 out of 5 stars Never A Dull Moment, January 19, 2006

By	Marfsha S. Chotiner "leonard" (La Mirada, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As members of the 7th and 8th Grade Benton Middle School Book Club in La Mirada, California this book was the best suspense book we have read in a long time. We could not put the book down and loved the major twists. The author gave you time to catch your breath and then shocked you. We were kept guessing until the end. As a group we came away with the same lessons: you need to be careful about what you write on-line, that bullying can take place on-line now as well as in person, looks are deceiving, pick you friends wisely and most of all don't jump to conclusion. We will definetly read another Jordan Cray mystery.
