Product Description

From School Library Journal

Once again Pike gives readers a roller-coaster ride. Carl Timmons, a high-school senior in a small California town, is troubled by the accidental death of his best friend. Trying to achieve some normalcy in his life, he is drawn into the school scavenger hunt. His team includes an old friend, his best friend's girl, her handicapped brother, and three newcomers to the town. As the hunt progresses, it takes a freakish turn with an horrific ending that leaves readers shaken but hopeful. The plot and mood move along consistently, drawing readers in and sustaining an uneasy feeling throughout. Parts of the book are very suspenseful, while others give readers a chance to catch their breath. Scant characterization at the beginning is so well done that readers will be compelled to keep reading to find out more. A skillfully woven ending clears up any questions about the characters. This quick read will appeal to teens seeking some distractions from the ordinary, and to those who are interested in the creepy, gory, gruesome, bizarre, and macabre genre. --Molly Kinney, North Dade Regional Library, Miami, FL

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinary Hunt, May 10 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Scavenger Hunt (Mass Market Paperback)
A Review by Nick

Carl Timmons' Senior Class was to be led on a Scavenger Hunt that led through the city, then deep into the desert. After two of the groups realize they are not seeing anyone else on the hunt, they quickly realize the scavenger hunt is fake, and they were being set up. They soon find themselves righting for there lives, against people that aren't even alive. Will they survive?...Or are they already dead?

I like how this book is pretty action packed. The story quickly picks up from the beginning, and is steadily paced until the shocking end. The Author is very detailed in describing the characters settings and situations. I can relate to a lot of the feelings that were expressed during this book. I liked how "Scavenger Hunt" can be put in a number of categories. It includes: Horror, mystery, Suspense, Romance, action, and a tad of comedy here and there. I like how you never know what's going to happen next. I would have liked if the story didn't end so abruptly, and said what happened after the end.

I would definitely recommend "Scavenger Hunt" to anyone that enjoys horror mysteries that lead you in suspense, while having plenty of action and a unique love story tied into it. This is a Great book. READ IT.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definetly worth reading, Dec 31 2002
By A. Ostrow "Lexi" (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Scavenger Hunt (Mass Market Paperback)
I think I have read all of Pike's books that are still in print and he is my favorite author. I love to read horror and mysteries and that's what he writes. Not to mention he has amazing details. Scavenger Hunt was one of my favoirtes.

The book opens in a church where a frantic boy tells the story of his day to a fairly disbeliving preist.

Carl, Cessy, Tom, Tracie, Rick, Paula and Davey are just a few seniors whose class is having a scavenger hunt. Carl just lost his best friend Joe and Tom is his only other really good friend since.

The scavenger hunt has weird rules and weird clues. But no one seems to think it as anything odd. They are all just happy to be having fun and not be in school.

Soon things get even weirder. Carl notcies that apart from his group Tracies group is the only other one they've seen since about the second clue.

Before they can stop it they are thrown into a deadly game. A Scavenger Hunt where they are the scavengers prey.
