A psychotic killer has just murdered a boy named Evan in the Fear Street woods and has gotten away with it. It is now a year later and Meg Dalton is living her life peacefully with her close friends Shannon, Lisa, and boyfriend Tony. One day, Lisa informs Meg that Ellen is coming back to town. Ellen was Evan's girlfriend and one of Meg's closest friends, and once he died, Ellen left all her friends and moved elsewhere. Meg decides that she should throw a surprise `Welcome back!' party for Ellen, so that Ellen doesn't feel awkward about her visit. However, someone else is insistent on making sure that the party doesn't take place, even if it means killing Meg.

As we progress with the story, we make a list of suspects who could be threatening Meg from organizing the party. They are:

1) Meg's best friend Shannon: Shannon is Evan's sister, and doesn't like Ellen because of it.
2) Meg's cousin Brian: Who was in the scene of the crime a year ago, and has been acting strangely ever since
3) Meg's boyfriend Toby: Toby seems more distant after the Evan's death since he and Evan were close friends.

It's always fun reading a thriller where you are trying to figure out who the killer is. R. L. Stine once tells us a gruesome story (which is a little farfetched) of a girl trying to solve the identity of the person who is after her. This book had a lot of twists and turns in it, especially in the end, which made it a worthwhile read.

In conclusion, you won't be disappointed by reading this Fear Street book.

The Surprise Party is probably one of the best books in the whole Fear Street series. It is funny, scary, suspenseful, and has a great storyline. It is about a girl named Meg that throws a surprise party for Ellen, her old bestfriend, because she is coming to visit. But then Meg receives phone calls telling her to cancel the party or else. Then the party invitations get cut up. Then comes the note in her locker and then the red paint thats supposed to be blood in her lunch bag. Could it be that Ellen is coming to town? Is it just a prank? Or does it have something to do with the murder of Evan a year ago? Meg must find out. This book is really fabulous. I am certain that every pre- teen will love this book as much as I did. Read it sonn or you'll be mad you didn't. Remember, you're in for a scare!!!

This was the first Fear Street I read. I was only 11 and now I'm 13. I read it while I was on vacation and I kept thinking that I'd see the characters of the book in my hotel room.READ IT!!! It is great.

I recomand this book to anyone 11 or older. It's great! The party was very scary though. all I wanna say, is I loved it. READ It!!!!!!!!~Anna

The story is nice for students over 14 years old. It is great and i really interested and i wanted desperatly to know who is the killer.

this was the first fear street book i read and everything about it made me want more i so think r.l. Stine should make the surprise party 2!!! although i don't see how that would work BUT MAKE IT WORK R.L. STINE!

It's been a year since Evan died, shot mysteriously in Fear Street woods. A year since his girlfriend Ellen moved away. Meg was one of Ellen's best friends, and when she hears that Ellen is going to visit Shadyside, she decides to throw a surprise party in honor of Ellen's return. Everyone thinks it's a good idea; Tony, Meg's boyfriend, Lisa, one of Meg's friends, and eventually even Shannon, Meg's best friend and sister of Evan. But there's someone out there who doesn't think the party is such a great idea. In fact, the stranger claims that bad things will happen to Meg if the party plans go forward. Meg thinks it's all just a joke...until bad things really do start to happen, which lead her to wonder; just what does this person want to hide?

Have any of your friends ever moved to another house and after a year he/she is coming back? You plan on throwning your friend a surprise party. Then you get these phone calls warning you not to have the party. This happens in the book The Surprise Party. Meg Dalton's friend, Shannon, is coming back to visit. She moved a year ago when her boyfriend,Evan, was killed. Now she's coming back and Meg plans on throwing her a surprise party. But Meg get these phone calls warning and threatning her not to have the party. But she ignores the warnings. Now she's at risk of death. How far will this person go to stop her?

I think this book is kind of scary and full of suspence. I recomend this book to peaple who like mysteried and parties.

This book is great for any teenager who loves mysteries like me. R. L. Stine leads you to think it's someone and then someone else. It's such a great book that you don't ever want to put down

The only thing that kept me reading it was that I wanted to find out who the killer was.
