5.0 out of 5 stars I Love this Book!, September 11, 2008

This review is from: Truth or Dare (Fear Street, No. 28) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was really fun to read. April, the main character, narrates the book. She and some other teens (Dara, Josh, Jenny, Ken, Carly, and Tony) share a ski cabin for the weekend. They plan to have fun. At first, it is not snowing. (No snow is not good for skiing.) Then it starts snowing. In fact, snowing so hard that the snow is coming down in thick, heavy, swirling flakes; it is so thick that you can't hardly see in front of you and you feel as though you are in a snow globe that is all shook up. (Too much snow is not good for skiiing, either.) I love the snow descriptions; I felt as if I was in crunching, powdering, thick snow. (I do not get snow very often, and when I do, it is not very thick; therefore, I love "imaginary" snow.)

Because the weather is not yet suitable for skiing, the teens are stuck inside. But they have plenty of good food and hot coffee. They play Truth or Dare (since they can't go outside). But during a Truth or Dare game, secrets might accidently get revealed . . . Will a particular secret lead to murder?

This is a horror book, so of course, someone is found murdered. (I will not say who or why, because I don't want to ruin the book.) April is horrified because there is a killer in the cabin. No one can leave because the snow is unrelentingly trapping them inside the cabin, and the snow storm made the phone lines go out. They can't leave, and they can't call the police. Trapped in a ferocious snowstorm, in a cabin with a killer and a dead body in the garage.

But April finds clues . . . Will she figure out who the killer is? Will she ever be able the leave the cabin? Will she be safe?

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Truth or Dare (Fear Street, No. 28) (Mass Market Paperback)

Truth or Dare by R.L. Stine was the third Fear Street book that I have read, and I have never been able to stop reading these books. They are really great. This book starts out when a couple of friends were asked to go skiing for the weekend with a friend. There was a big snow-storm outside and that meant that they couldn't go skiing. They begin to start to play a game of truth or dare. A terrible secret gets out, but no one really makes a big deal about it until one of their friends is found dead outside and another missing. When they find out that two of their friends are dead, they start to suspect each other. With no car and no phone, there is no way to get home. You will not want to put this book down. This book is very good with a twist in the end. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to have chills run up their spine.
