This review is from: Summer of Fear (Paperback)

This book is my favorite book, of all time. It is the best book written by Lois Duncan. As all the others, by the author, it has a lot of suspense and the twist at the is unbelievable. Recommended for 12-17 year olds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Summer of fear, Jan 14 2004

By	Jackie Urcino (Salt Lake City, Utah) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Summer of Fear (School & Library Binding)

I enjoyed reading Summer of Fear by Lois Duncan, because it's really a surprising and mysterious book and that's what I like about books. Summer of Fear is about a girl named Rachel who's cousin Julia comes into town to live with Rachel and her family. At first things seem normal and simple until strange and weird things start happening. Rachel tries to find out why these things are happening and who or what is doing them.
A couple of things make this book mysterious, such as when Rachel finds matches in her room, the one that she shares with Julia, and thinks that Julia might smoke so Rachel looks for cigarette packs through Julia's things. Instead of cigarette packs she finds a little wax figure shaped as a dog in Julia's bureau and Rachel starts to wonder what is it and why Julia has it. Another one is when Rachel's little brother goes over to their neighbor Professor Jarvis house and saw him on the floor out cold. The whole neighborhood was in shock on how a healthy man could just pass out like that.
