Summer of fear by Lois Duncan is a 1977 publication.

This story is geared towards a young adult audience, but it still has some excellent chills and thrills even now, reading it as an adult.

For fans of trivia or pop culture, there was a made for television movie based on this book starring...

I remember reading this for the first time so clearly. I was probably ten or twelve or thereabouts. I didn't think it was as immediately funny as other Gordon Korman books, but I remember telling my friend that it built to an amazing crescendo, where all its threads came together in a way that made me laugh...

I don't understand why there isn't even a picture of her. The other thing I don't understand is why we're always moving -- different towns...

YA was hardcore in 1983, yo. I bought my original copy of The Grounding of Group Six at Barnes and Noble in Boston when I was 10 – the huge one on Boylston that looked like a half-melted White House, and I’m not going to lie to you: I bought it because of the cover.

In fact, before I even get into the...

AuthorEllen Emerson White
This was not a win, but I consider it totally my own fault, as practically everybody said it wasn't half as good as the sequel. I don't even really *have* an inner completist to blame, so not too sure why I didn't go straight to that. I'm sure this would have read a lot better when first published, but now it's...
AuthorNorma Klein
ISBN0449702367
Omg, if only life was a easy as a sheepskin coat and as carefree as a 18 year old behind swaggering in the air. Klein's protagist Jody is probably the most amazing YA protag. She's cheeky, slutty, nerdy, bossy and despite being so beyond her years she is still so teendreamqueen. The book is supposedly a look...

I came across this book in one of my trunks. I have kept it since the first time I read it and fell for Bruce and Carole Hart's writing.
As I turned each page, the flash of me as a teen filled with wonder, excitement, and lost within the pages hit - which had me devouring the book in under an hour.
A great...
