From School Library Journal

Grade 6-10-- A new entry in the "Fear Street" series--that street where unexplained, terrifying events occur for no particular reason, to anyone brave enough to venture down its sidewalks. When Cory Brooks, high school gym star, meets Anna Corwin, the hauntingly beautiful girl who has just moved to Fear Street, he becomes preoccupied with her. With the help of good friends, particularly the girl next door, Cory unravels the puzzle of Anna's mysterious life. The result is a fast - moving tale that includes obsession, strange events , and the ultimate triumph of good over evil. The book moves along from start to finish , conveying an uneasiness that will keep readers going. Cory and his friends are typical teens , and their conversation and action are believable. The sense of something always about to happen and the cliff - hanging endings to the chapters will make this a good booktalking candidate. The vocabulary is simple, the premise interesting , and the plot compelling, making this book one for reluctant readers, as well as a useful addition for teens who like the "creep" genre. --Molly Kinney, North Dade Regional Library, Miami, FL
