It's all fun and games until a prank goes fatally wrong in this
spine-tingling young adult thriller from Goosebumps author R.L.
Stine. Diane and her friends have been sneaking out every night to
play pranks while Fear Street sleeps. She loves breaking the rules,
just a little, and pushing the limits of what they can get away
with. Not to mention that whatever they get up to in the night is
all the town can talk about the next day. No one likes the rush of
a good practical joke more than Diane's boyfriend, Lenny, who has
masterminded some of their best work. But when he sets his sights
on one of the most hated teachers at their school, the group
finally goes too far...and the consequences are deadly. And on Fear
Street, even death can't stop people from getting their revenge.

Jason wishes he were taller. He wishes his arms were longer. He
wishes his nose were shorter. So when Jason discovers a bottle of

that it'll give him a killer bod. Sure enough the stuff works! But
after a few days of using it, Jason begins to wonder about the side
effects of this killer cure . . .
In 1959, two thirteen year old boys discover a secret that the town
of Hole, Georgia, would rather remain buried. No one wants to talk
about the decorated African American soldier lynched on a hot
summer night in 1919. But the event cannot be ignored since several
impressionable citizens of the town claim they have seen the
"haint" of the murdered soldier dancing around the old live oak
tree in the city park--always around midnight on Independence Day.
The two boys decide they must discover whether the ghost is real or
just the imagination of a guilt-ridden community.
Darrel Cannon and his new friend, Bumpy Foster, set out to find
the truth. They soon ally themselves with an old black stonecutter
who seems to know much more than he is willing to tell. Their
journey through the humid summer leads to adventure and danger but
also to enlightenment. In the aftermath of the flaming climax,
Darrel Cannon discovers that the senseless violence of a bygone era
can forever change a boy's world view.

believes Adrien is the only guy who really understands her. In
fact, she may be falling in love with him. When Adrien and Heather
are cast as the leads in the school production of "Romeo and

end up in the last place she'd ever want to be: the cellar. Can
Meredith convince her sister that she's dating the living dead
before it's too late for both of them?
