Prom Date

Summary: MUST READ!!!
Review: Danielle 13-Prom Date is the best book I have ever read! It's about a person who is killing and/or hurting people just for a date to the prom! It's a page turner! My personal favorite character is Mitch. He was brave and did everything in his power to protect his girlfriend from death. My favorite part of the book was when I found out who the killer was. I was shocked! If you like murder mysterys and page turning adventures, I recomend this book.

Summary: Letter to the author
Review: Dear Diane Hoh, The book that you wrote, The Prom Date, Was a very good book. It left me on the edge of my seat. Especially at the end when Liza walked into the prom. I thought she was looking to kill someone, but all she wanted was a dance with Mitch. The way you wrote this book was amazing; because of how the reader can never stop turning the page. No matter what page the reader is on, there are always exciting things coming up. The most exciting part of the book was when Stephanie was hanging off of the lighthouse and the killer would not help her, but nudged her hands so that she would fall to the sharp rocks below. The way that you wrote that part was amazing because it all didn't happen at one time but in a period of time. I loved how you described the settings like at the school, the prom, at the Quartet, and at the lighthouse, because it all worked together to form the understanding of who the killer was. Most of all that showed who the killer was, was when the dresses were found out side of the Quartet, and at the lighthouse. I understand that the plot was to figure out who the killer was by reading the book. But some parts of the book were confusing because of how it was set up to appear to the reader, as a certain person was the killer but at some parts it didn't point to one person but almost all of the characters in the book. But at the end it all went down to one person. In conclusion I don't really recommend this book to younger than 8th grade readers because it's really sometimes hard to understand and it also has a lot of killing and horror in it. If I were to rate this book I would give it 4 stars because it's not the best book that I have read but it is a good book for everyone to read. Even adults could read this book them too would like it a lot. I hope my review was helpful to you and I plan on reading a lot more of you books.

Summary: A great book =)
Review: Prom Date is a great YA thriller.

There is a break-in at the dress shop called, the Quartet. Some prom dresses are destroyed. The destroyed dresses were gonna be worn to the prom by some of the most popular girls of Toomey High, whom Margaret Dunne and her friends referred to as the 'Pops'.

The book really starts out on Chapter-3, where the Toomey High School senior picnic is being held. The main character, Margaret is bored and goes to the old aging lighthouse, which she loves going to despite the danger and warning signs. As she listened to the breakers crashing into the rocks she is met by the voice of Mitch McGill, one of the most popular/nicest boy from her school. They chatted for a little while and end up talking about the break-in at her mother's dress shop, the Quartet. Mitch's brother was one of the cops that night. While they were walking back to the picnic they heard a scream that came from the lighthouse. They ran back.

They find the body of Stephanie Markham(one of the 'pops') in the water.

People think that it was just an accident and think that the old rail on the lighthouse has just finally gave way... which led to Stephaie's dreadful fall, but then there are those that know differently...

There is someone out there that would just do about anything to get a prom date... but who is it?

I thought the ending was wonderful, almost made me teary eyed =)
