Summary: What Can I Say? Nixon Did It Again!...
Review: "Don't Scream" was awesome to say the least!

The storyline revolves around a girl named Jessica, or Jess. Two guys just moved to the small town of Oakberry; one of them right across the street! Just as things begin to look up, they take a turn for the worst. Jess realizes that she knows nothing about these guys. Plus, they both seem so intent on changing the subject when the topic involves where they came from, what they like, etc. Especially Scott! Those dark eyes, almost scary, seem as though they're always lying; hiding something. Then, things begin to go totally downhill when her neighbor's cat disappears, preceding her own cat's dissappearance! Who's doing this? Jess can't help but suspect Scott, especially after she finds out that he's not who he says he is! After all, he did say he hated cats, right?

This book is for anyone, like me, who love mystery/thrillers. Especially those who love Joan Lowery Nixon.

Also recommended: "Name of the Game Was Murder," "Nobody's There," and "Who Are You," all by Joan Lowery Nixon! Enjoy!

Summary: A Freaky Neighbor
Review: A Review by Erika

A teenage girl, Jessica, had just gotten new neighbors across the street. She was so excited about her new neighbors and there was a guy her age who she thought was cute. She had no idea what he had done in his previous town. She soon found out that he had done some bad things and another new guy was following him. Jess soon found out about everything and didn't like it.

This was a good book overall. It had some weird parts and some stupid parts, but I still liked it. I really liked the interaction between the teenagers in this book. It was like they were going through the same issues as regular teenagers. I didn't really like what the author made mark do to the cats. It was so cruel and I don't know anyone who would do it. It also had nothing to do with the main point in the story. I thought the characters were very realistic and really focused on the same issues as teenagers today. I think the author did a great job describing the characters and their situations. I didn't really like how Jess didn't deal with her problems and they just kept piling up. I really liked how the author built up the suspense when Jess got suspicious of Mark. It was like she didn't know what would happen next and it made the story much more interesting. I liked the language the author used because it was all familiar and easy for me. The plot did indeed lead up to the climax and it was a good part in the book. The ending wasn't as good as I expected it to be. It was good enough but wasn't the best. I thought the story kept going on and on about the same issues and it would have been better if it was shorter and had gotten to the point quicker.

I would recommend this book to everyone who likes scary, horror books. I would also recommend it to people that have patience when they read. I gave this book 2.5 star because it wasn't the best book I've ever read but it wasn't the worst. I thought this book was a good read in all, and I hope you agree with me.

Summary: Jessica Donnally's Mystery
Review: A Review by Kristin

Jessica Donnally lives in a small in Texas, and life is pretty normal for her, until two different families move into town. Things in this small town seem to go missing, and things around town are kind of weird. The light bulb in the street lights seem to always be shattered and all the cats in the neighborhood seem to be missing. Jessica decides that one of the boys from the new families in town is doing this stuff and she is determine to find out which one of them it is. But will she make it in time to stop him?

I thought that this was a good book. It kept you thinking, wondering, and in suspense the whole time. The story led up to a great ending, which was well worth the wait. In the whole book Jessica get more and more interested in looking for who is doing this two her town and it makes you feel like you are in it doing detective work too. The book is well written and is easily understood. I think that I would read more of her books. She is a great author. The Story goes back from one person to anther, and is putt together very nicely.

I would recommend this book to people who like suspenseful mysteries. I really liked this book, and it was easy to read.

Rating: 5 stars
