I liked the structure of this book. Having two stories in one book is one of the things I think keeps readers interested. I must say, though, that Josie's story was a little weak. Josh's story was much better in terms of the plot and picturing the scenes in your mind. However, Stine killed a Senior that I was really fond of, so I was a little disappointed. Also, the end made me a little teary-eyed. However, this is a great book, so I would advise all the Stine fans out there to read it.

I thought this was an amazing book. I loved how it switched from The story at Trisha Conrads Ranch to the story with Josie and Jennifer. I love the yearbook at the begginning of the book I like seeing who has died. I also like to predict whos next. I think these books are very suspenseful and You can never tell whos going to die. If anyone had to die out of everyone on the trip to Trishas ranch I wanted Deirdre to die the most because she was being a little wimp so that her sisters boyfriend could comfort her! If you are looking for a boook that you can't put down I suggest you read this one!I also loved the Josie and Jennifer thing. I was so mad at Tim and Evan! How could they do that to them? I thoguth at first they were evil. Like they were not doing it for attention but they actuallly wanted to hurt the 2 girls. I liked They're plan to scare the boyz but I thought that waas creepy about how deirdre came back to help them! In the Other srory at Trishas ranch Right from the begginning I knew Rose was bad. I had No Idea that she and Clay Hartley had teamed up but I knew there was something wronmg when she and Josh played hide and go seek and she suddenly disapeared and Josh got attacked by a coyote. Then she magicaly appears again saying she got lost. What A Joke! I would never trust her. As you can tell I enjoyed this book alot and I suggest to readers of any age READ THIS BOOK@

this was about as good as the first one. I kept waiting and waiting for someone to die, and then when they did die it wasn't even that cool... The plot was sortta lame to and i am a true fan of Mr. Stine, I've read all of his work, and this is not one that i wil willingly read again!

This book had a different idea. There are two stories. One story focuses on Josie Maxwell and Jennifer Fear and the other story is about Josh Maxwell, Deirdre Palmer and some friends go to Arizona. It's really great how the two stories became connected. I'm just a bit mad at R.L. for taking away one of my fave seniors.

This is the 9th installment of R.L. Stine's "Seniors Saga". By now, this series is in full swing, and several Seniors have bit the dust. I really do like how the author, follows a regular school year schedule. This is "Spring Break" and obviously it is Spring Break for the students of Shadyside High School.
I recommend to my students to read this one during Spring Break, it really gives you a feeling that your actually there. Residents of Arizona, will like this book, since this takes place at a fictional ranch in Tucson, Arizona.
"Spring Break" has two separate storylines, the first group, Josh Maxwell, (who is back in the limelight again, after a couple of episodes) Gary Fresno, Mickey Myers, Deirdre Palmer all join Trisha Conrad at her Father's ranch in Arizona for a week of fun in the sun.
Meanwhile, Josie Maxwell (Josh's Sister) and Jennifer Fear, are back home in Shadyside hanging out and decide to sneak into a bar, here they meet two college guys. The four start to hang out together and have some fun.
Things go wrong quickly for the group in Arizona, as Josh bumps into an rough cowboy dude at the airport, and he tries to start a fight with Josh, this starts a chain of events that soon haunts the kids in Arizona.
Someone soon starts to stalk Jennifer and Josie, leaving them messages on their car and their porch. Who is this? What does he/she want?
Meanwhile, in Arizona, Josh and Co, meet Rose, her father, and Roberto. Roberto is excavating some Hohokam Indian Land.
Rose warns them of "La Amadora" a vengeful Hohokam spirit, who comes after anyone who disturbs the sacred land.
Soon things start to go wrong for Josh and Co. Things like a rattlensake bite, a coyote attack, a bedroom is broken into etc. Is it the work of the vengeful spirit? Is it someone who doesn't want them anywhere near the excavation site?
This book is really well written as it takes the reader back and forth between two stories.
Unfortunately not all the Seniors make it through Spring Break alive. Expect a twist at the end, as with most of these books, and finally, some of the characters show some remorse and/or emotion to someone dying. I felt this was long overdue. This is the beginning of the end of the saga, and it is sure to keep the reader interested from chapter to chapter.

Spring Break was really a shocker!! when Stine combinded 2 different stories you couldn't wait until you read them

THIS BOOK WAS OKAY. I'M REALLY SURPRISED WHO DIED IN IT THOUGH. WHY IS R.L. STINE KILLING OFF SOME OF MY FAVORITE SENIORS? OH WELL. I HAVE ALL THE SENIORS BOOKS EXCEPT FOR GRADUATION DAY. THIS BOOK WASN'T ONE OF THE BEST SENIORS BOOKS, BUT IT WAS STILL OKAY.

I liked this book a lot more than some of his others. I live near Tucson, and while he did have some factual errors, they were really just minor things. The Arizonan plot was a lot better thean Josies, except in a few parts. I will say I am happy because he did kill of a person who has been in the yearbook since the beginning, but he needs to pick up the pace. He's only killing like 1 person a book, and I will be seriously dissapointed if I read the last book and there are only like 11 deaths.

Though Spring Break was good, and it had lots of surprises, I was sort of disappointed by it. It is a Super Chiller, yet it didn't have a very good plot to be one. It kind of dragged in the beginning, and middle. It was enjoyable, yet not a favorite Seniors of mine.

this book is very weak in comparison to his other books in the Seniors series. The plot was kind of tacky. I really give it 3.5 stars. Why does R.l Stine kill all of the characters I like. He kept on stealing lines from the movie Scream. Buy his other book!
