Its finally summer and a time to do what you want and have as much fun as youcan. Well thats not the case with Amanda Conklins who lives in a cruel andcrazy town on a very scary street, Fear Street. Amanda was going threw a lot ofbad tuff times, like when the town accused her of lighting an old mans house onfire, or the time when she was accused of stealing from her school gym. Amandawas also doing fairly bad in school and especially at the end of her schoolyear. Amanda was so frustrated that she told everyone she would soon run awayand a few nights that exactly what she did and on that night she was hit by carand the next morning she was sent to a mental hospital nearby her home. She thencame out of the mental hospital a month later and went back to school. The badthing was tat she didnt know any of the stuff they were studying and therewas only one week left of school. She was doing terrible in school and on lastday of school she got her report card and it was terrible. When she came home heshowed it to her mother and it was recommended that she should go to summerschool. So the summer that Amanda thought would be the greatest summer yet wasturned into the worst. Amandas family decided to move the family to a nearbybeach in Seahaven. In Saehaven Amanda was sent to summer school and hated it.
Amandas parents aid that they wer going on a 3week trip and already haveeverything planned. Amandas brother and sister were going to be baby sat bywho was said to be the towns best baby sitter, her name was Chrissy Meleings.
Chrissy was known as the best baby sitter Amandas sister and brother loved herand so did the rest of the town but Amanda had a feeling there was somethingwrong with her. So Amanda started asking around to see if Chrissie was bad ornot. It took long but she found out about her reacent babysitttings from herfriend heather and found out that Amanda would kill any animals of yours stealtoys and it is rumored that she killed some of the kids she babysat. Amanda wasgoing crazy and it was the second week since Christie has been babysitting hersister and brother and Amanda noticed her cat was missing she then searched allaround for it. She couldnt find her cat for two days and started saying thatChrissy killed her cat and not to many people believed her. Two days later whileAmanda was telling everyone about the cat incident and Chrissy walked up withthe cat and she said ” Oh if you were wondering where your cat was I sent itto the vet. Amanda regretted ever thinking Chrissy was a bad person until shefound her cat dead and her sister with scars all over her head, arms legs andshe couldnt find her brother. To find who killed Amandas cat and scarred herand where her brother is read this great book written by R.L. Stine. I reallyliked this book a lot because it made me keep wanting to read on and it made methink certain things and then they just went a different way. For example whenAmanda said Chrissy killed her cat I believed that Chrissy did kill her cat.
This book also had a lot of suspense and was scary at times. I would recommendthis book to kids between the ages of 10- 14.
