this is a excellent book Holly is the biggest gossip queen known to Shadyside she always seems to know whats going on and what is going to happen but some one has had anough and will go so far to make sure she does not spread any more secrets or gossip even if it means murder. i thought this was a great book i read it in 2 hours all of his books are excellent and page turners i am reading the series i think you should read this book and see what you think.

I have read most all of the Fear Street books and this one is definitly my fav! It may not look to good on the outside but once you start reading, you can't put it down! I would reccomend this book to anyone that likes scarey books. Also someone that has a lot of free time because you won't want to put it down!

What Holly Heard was the first Fear Street book I had ever read. It has all a horror story needs horror, gore, suspense, and mystery. The characters are great. The Killer is a total shocker.

It's interesting to catch up on the latest gossip on people. Who's dating who, where's the best spot to be on a Friday night, etc. But, there is a bad side to all of this controversy. Let's take a trip on the wild side, or maybe in a book called "What Holly Heard" by R.L. Stine. Let's face it, Holly is a gossip! She knows all of the latest news on people, and is quick to tell everyone else. Her friends try to ignore her non-sense, but how can they when all of her games end up affecting the way she feels about Noah, the coolest guy in school, when she already has a boyfriend? Whatever it is, Holly wants to find out. Is all of the stuff that Holly hears going to take a turn and lead on a fantasy ride, or maybe more of a death ride? You decide. Read "What Holly Heard" by R.L. Stine

Do you like secrets? Holly does. She's Shadyside High's Gossip Queen. She's got the hottest news everyday. This time, she's heard a really terrible secret and she told it to all her friends. But someone didn't want Holly to know. Now someone wants to make sure Holly never talks about it again. Lying.........Threats...........Even murder!

Synopsis: Holly Silva is the Gossip Queen of Shadyside High, and tells her best friends Miriam Maryles and Ruth Carver the latest gossip she hears; the latest one being that Mei Kamata is fighting with her mother because her mother doesn't approve of Mei's boyfriend Noah Brennan. Even though Holly has a boyfriend (Gary Foster), she is crazy about Noah, but he only has eyes for Mei. Miriam is satisfied with her life because she has good friends like Holly and Ruth, and is in a stable relationship with her boyfriend, Jed Holman. However, Jed seems to be more uptight and agitated lately, and doesn't tell Miriam what's making him so upset. Miriam asks Holly if she can find out anything about Jed. Later, Miriam sees Jed choking a fellow player to death at the basketball game. Meanwhile, Holly tries anyway she can to get near Noah. But one day, she overhears Noah and Mei talking about killing Mei's mother, and Holly gets really scared. She tells Miriam and Ruth what she overheard, but they tell Holly that Mei probably didn't mean it. Afterwards, news spreads the Mei's mother is really dead and Holly fears for her life, because she feels Noah and Mei heard saw her listening to them.

One night, when Holly spends the evening in the school gym, decorating for the victory rally, she calls Miriam and tells her that someone is trying to scare her. The line goes dead, and Miriam hurries to the gym to know if Holly is okay. She is shocked to find Holly dead in the school gym. Miriam is devastated and tries to figure out who could have murdered Holly and why. The rest of the story becomes a murder mystery as Holly tries to figure out who the murderer could be. She suspects Jed, Mei or Noah to be the murderers, but can she get proof before she is also killed?

Review: I already knew who the real killer was after reading just half the story, because Stine smartly provides hints in the beginning to show how unstable that particular character was. Therefore, even though it didn't come as a shock to me to learn who killed Holly in the end, this was nevertheless, a very entertaining book, because it kept me guessing as to why the other potential suspects would act so strangely as well. Stine kept writing each character so suspiciously that when I was reading some chapters, it made me second guess my own prediction as to who could have done it.

Overall, this is a predictable Fear Street story, but it is still entertaining because of all the twists, and I would say this was one of the better Fear Street novels, but it is not the best one.
