Summary: GREAT!
Review: A Deadly Game Of Magic was a great book. It's detailed and you can see pictures in your mind of what's happening. It's really interesting and after you read this book, you want to run out to the nearest bookstore and buy all of Joan Lowery Nixon's books. All of her books are really good, and this one was fantastic.
In this book, there are four main characters: Julian, Teena, Bo, and of course Lisa. Lisa tells the story. Anyway, here's what happens: It was a stormy night and the four seventeen-year-olds were in a car, driving home. Something goes wrong with the car, and the car doesn't work. The teenagers must get shelter, so they go to a house and knock on the door. A man answers, and they're sure he's not the owner of the house. He tells them that he and his wife need to go out, and that the fours teenagers can stay in the house. After the strange man and his strange wife leave, they call a place that fixes cars, and the place tells them that they'll be over there soon. After giving the man the address and hanging up, the electricity goes out and the phones don't work. Soon a man that takes cars to his work to fix comes, and he talks to the kids. Lisa asks the man to check the rooms because she's afraid. He does, and when he gets to the last room, he faints. When they go into the kitchen, the man wakes up and drives away. They're stuck in house a house with something that is creepy enough to make a man faint.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is so suspensful! You can't put it down!
Review: All of Joan Lowery Nixon's books are great. You can't put them down! You get into them so well, it's like you're there, experiencing it yourself! They get so suspensful, you finish one chapter, can't stop and turn the page as fast as you can, and all of a sudden, you've read the whole book in two hours, non-stop, with nightmares that night! This book makes you wonder, for instance... what's at the end of the hall? You see, this group of kids put on a performance and lost in the contest. They all felt so bad. So on their way home, they got caught in a thunderstorm and got lost. They ended up in a spooky mansion. They called a cab since their car wouldn't start anymore. The cab driver got at the mansion and had to go to the bathroom. He went down the long, dark, spooky hall and poked his head into the room at the end of the hall. He came running back down the hall, scared out of his mind, and fainted in front of the main character. It's really freaky, and you have to finish reading it right away to find out Who-Dunnit. If you read it non-stop, you really get into it, but if you read it like 20 minutes a day, it's not as good as it was meant. But it really grabs hold of you and i recommend it to absolutely anybody. Anybody would like it. I've read all of Nixon's books and they are just super. I garantee it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SUSPENSFUL
Review: This book is a Great book to read. The first book that I read of Joan Lowery Nixon and makes me want to read more of her books. This book makes you wonder who the person is. This book is about a group of kids having their car break down and going to this house in the rain. Then, Lisa (the main character) has to use her magician skills in order to catch the person who is trying to get them out of the house. Great book, I recommend it to everybody who loves mystery books!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A clever thriller!!!
Review: This great book is not really a mystery. It is more like a heart pounding thriller. Whan 4 friends? Have car trouble in a violent storm they have to go to a huge house to seek refuge. When they get there they meet 2 strange people who say they can stay then leave right after. After that Lisa and the others are caught in a clever web of terror. This book is better to read on dark stormy days. It adds a great thrill!But if you don't read it on a rainy day it still should give you enough chills to keep you up all night!
