Where strange things happen, people go missing, and nightmares come true. Stine is back with the first four books now in one thrilling package Don't dismiss this one so fast just because it doesn't have anything supernatural involved.The classic and heart-pounding Fear Street Series from beloved author R.L. I don't want to give anything away, the book is short enough, but I enjoyed the not-so-subtle hints and the pleasure of character-building conversation-filler turning out to matter for the climax of the book. Smart girl! She then wanders away from him in the Fear Street Woods, but she tried! There were also plausible reasons for not calling in authorities - invitations are being ripped up, the police will get right on that - and there were a few scenes that required parental involvement and. I liked that Meg was so stubborn she refused to give in to the anonymous terrorist who keeps ripping up her party invitations and goes on with the party.

Famed Fear Street tramp Suki Thomas makes a party appearance as well - this is the first time we see her spiked-blonde hair and waist-encircling arms in action. This one had a lot of characters - I couldn't squeeze in a mention of the over-muscled Dwayne of the stained t-shirts who creeps on Shannon all the time above - and there's a supporting cast provided by the main cast of 'The New Girl': Lisa Blume and Cory Brooks and his gymnast friends. Meg and Tony start receiving threatening phone calls and notes that warn them to put a stop to the party. The only problem is that somebody doesn't want there to be a party.

Shannon dated Ellen's brother Evan, together, along with Meg's boyfriend Tony Colavito, they hung out all the time. Meg, Ellen, and Shannon Harper were an inseparable growing up. Meg Dalton is thrilled to hear her old friend Ellen Mayors is coming back to town for a visit. I enjoyed the heck out of it, which is kind of the point. I thought it had a great blend of bizarre twists, hand-steepling villainous thoughts, inhuman behavior and an overall plot that hangs well. Doing the round of nostalgia blogs, 'The Surprise Party' is not a favorite.
