Review: I read scared stiff when I was in the third grade in 1992, after my library teacher read it. It is such a good book that now in 1999, I remember the title after not reading it for seven years and I will be purchasing it for a much younger friend of mine. Even though it is at times unrealistic, it provokes the imagination of those who read it and imprints itself in a person's memory.

I am thirteen and I enjoyed this book thoroughly. It was very exciting and suspensful. I have read one other of Willo Davis Robert's books and found it equally exciting. She is a very creative writer and her books deserve 5 stars for mystery,adventure,and action in my opinion.

Summary: Scared Stiff
Review: Scared Stiff is a book by Willo Davis Roberts. It is about two young boys who came home from school one day to find that their mom was missing. Their dad lad left the family a few weeks before this had happened. They report their missing mother to the police detectives, but they quickly discover that the police aren't doing much to find their mother. They decide to find their mom by themselves. Until she comes back home, they have to live with their uncle in an R.V. park. They are given many clues to find their mother, but this isn't an easy task for the boys of their uncle, and it is always a very dangerous thing to do.
I love this book very much. It was very suspenseful and didn't give away too many clues. This book had me guessing until the end. It was hard to stop reading it. I got very attached to the characters in the story. This book was very descriptive and gave me many visuals. I could always picture the scenes in the story.

Summary: I wanted to be in this story!!!
Review: Scared Stiff is an excellent story. It is very realistic and the events that take place in the amusement park are very pleasurable to read. This is the kind of story you read and you want to be a part of the action. An abandoned amusement park is any kid's dream of the ultimate playground, and it is neat to read about it in this story.

Summary: Superb job and suspense
Review: The book starts out a little slow but speeds up after a couple of chapters after their mom gets kidnapped. Most of the suspense is in a wonderland R.V. Park where the two kids meet some friends and explore the shut down park with great anticipation. As the story gets to the last few chapters the kids get chased through the park by a couple of men who kidnapped their mom. Using their skills from exploring the park with their two friends they try to outwit the two men. The author has a lot of suspense through the chase that will keep you reading until the end. Other than a few family problems most people will okay this book. I would recommend this book to the 11-14 year old age group.

Summary: Scared Stiff
Review: Troubles Always Come in Threes The plot of this book is that Rick and Kenny Van Huler's father says that troubles always come in threes, and that's just how it started. First, Pa, a long-distance truck driver, reported that his load of TVs had been stolen. Then, Pa and Ma had a fight and Pa left, and they thought nothing worse could come but it did. The third thing that happened was that Ma disappeared. She had been outside, talking to a man in a car, when she sent the boys to the store. When they got home, she was gone, and hours later she still had not come home. Finally, Rick, Kenny, and their friends, Connie and Julie, went looking for their mom.
I liked this book for many different reasons. I liked this book because it was very interesting, and it always left me wanting to read more. Like the time when ma was outside talking to a man, and the next thing Rick and Kenny knew she was gone. She had disappeared, and they waited for hours and hours but she didn't come home. This book was very interesting and also funny. I also like the fact that they kept hearing and seeing things in the dark, abandoned, amusement park. IF I were to rate this book on a scale of 1-5, then I would give it a 4 because although it was interesting most of the time and almost always left me wanting to read more, sometimes it wasn't that interesting and sometimes it was boring. But overall I thought that it was a very good and interesting book and I think that other people will enjoy it too.
I have not read any other books by this author, but considering how well I enjoyed reading this book, I will look into other books by this author. I will also look into other mystery books similar to this one because by reading this book I have realized how fun it is to read and try to guess why something happened.
