Summary: DANGER!
Review: In this book there is a girl named Julie, and she has no family that is still alive. She met a girl named Dina who she always stayed by her side thoughout this book. Julie thinks that there is a man named Stikes that killed her parents, and is now out to kill her. Because of this, Julie thinks she sees Stikes throughout the story and she gets people in a lot of trouble. If you like adventure and suspence, then you'll love this book, as I did.

Summary: Scary!
Review: This book is about a girl named Dina who has cancer. She meets a little girl named Julie who has no family, and thinks she is being stalked by Sikes, the one who she says killed her family. Dina ends up taking her everywhere, and gets lots of people into trouble when Julie thinks she sees Sikes everywhere. I loved the twist at the end. It really surprised me! I give it five stars and sixty exclamation points!!!

Summary: Not Nixon's Best....
Review: This book is about a girl named Dina. She has Hodgkin's Disease and becomes friends with a 9-year-old girl named Julie in the hospital. Julie was in a car accident in which her parents were killed. She has no other relatives, and she is terrified of a man she calls Sikes. She insists that he killed her parents and is coming back to finish her off. Will Sikes put Dina's life in jeopardy to get to Julie?...Overall, "The Specter" was average. I'll admit that there was a stange twist at the end, but the rest of the storyline was bland and boring. There wasn't much mystery until the last couple chapters, and it was a little predictable. Joan Lowery Nixon is my favorite suspense author, but it seems like her earlier books weren't as good as her newer ones (such as "The Seance" and "The Kidnapping of Christina Lattimore"). Back then, there wasn't as good of sources for ideas, such as scary movies, etc., so I forgive her.... Also recommended: "Name of the Game Was Murder," "Who Are You," "Spirit Seeker," and "Nobody's There," all by Joan Lowery Nixon!
