5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best and Most Entertaining, August 10, 2007

By	Andrea "Readaholic" (USA) - See all my reviews

A rich girl who doesn't financially need to work, but only works so that she knows what it is like to have to work, and a poor girl who has to work find a bag of money. The rich girl doesn't need the money, but the poor wants it. They decide to hold it for a while and if nobody claims it, they'll keep it. The suspense is very thrilling, because you don't know if anybody will claim it or not. And I'm not going to tell because you have to read the book yourself and I don't want to ruin it for anyone.

I've read many R.L. Stine Fear Street Books, and even though they are all good, this book is one of the better ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Would you kill to be rich?, April 25, 2004

By	Josh (New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Rich Girl (Fear Street, No. 44) (Paperback)

Emma Naylor and her best friend Sydney Shue have always shared their secrets with each other. Now, the two girls have a huge secret to share. They've found a bag of money with enough cash to make them the richest girls in Shadyside. They promise not to tell anyone, but Sydney can't resist telling her boyfriend, Jason. Emma's worried, though. She doesn't trust Jason. She's sure he'll do anything to get his hands on that money...even kill.

I love this Fear Street book! This one will definitely stick with me for a long time. I barely manage to read books from cover to cover in one day, but I did it with this one. Anyway, there were a lot of creepy twists in this book. Especially in the end. The ending makes you go like: "Whoa! I didn't see that coming!" Although it's not the best Fear Street, it's still a pretty good one.

5.0 out of 5 stars a rich story ( by Amy), June 14, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Rich Girl (Fear Street, No. 44) (Paperback)

The 'Rich Girl' is one of the best story that R L stine wrote. I loved it so much I couldn't put it down. The cover has a handbag which made me think it will be a little boring. But remember, don't judge the book by its cover.

It starts off when a teenager named Sydney and Emma found a handbag full of cashes. Both of them promised each other that they will not tell someone else. Then they hid the handbag under the ground. But Sydney told her boyfriend Jason about it. Then horrible things happened. Emma suspects Jason and Sydney started to suspect him too. Then those two had an idea. They decided that they will share the money equally. But Jason seemed to want the whole money. So Emma killed him. But he sort of haunted them.

The beginning was sort of boring but the rest was cool. I was surprised at the end when I knew the answer.
