Young Adult Revisited

All the little kids are excited that Mr. Fowler decided to throw a big Halloween party for them at Hathway Manor, a supposedly haunted house. Lila doesn't seem quite as thrilled as everyone else, and even though she's shaking in her shoes, she refuses to say that she's scared of ghosts. It turns out that the ghost who haunts the house is Laura Hathway, who was an invalid and once lived there. The day of the party arrives, and everyone shows up. They find a portrait of Laura, and it turns out that she looks just like Lila. Lila dresses up an in an old Victorian costume, and she acts just as scared as she did before. Elizabeth goes as a tiger cat, Jessica goes as a genie, and one of the other kids dresses up like a turtle. The party only takes place on the first floor, but some kids sneak away. They head back downstairs, go through a haunted room, and wind up outside. Elizabeth looks up and sees a light in the window, which everyone thinks is the ghost. They ...

Did anyone know that they brought back the Point Horror series? I was checking out the Wikipedia page tonight to see what books I was missing, and noticed that there were four new books added to the list. 2013 Defriended (Ruth Baron) Identity Theft (Anna Davies) 2014 Wickedpedia (Chris Van Etten) - July 1st Followers (Anna Davies) - July 1st The two books that come out this year I've never heard of (obviously), but I totally didn't know there were two released under that name last year!

I did notice a couple of newer titles that I haven't read before, so I might pi...

It's the 25 th anniversary of Sweet Valley Middle School, and the school announces a new contest. They're going to build a new sports filed and they want kids to form teams of four. Each team needs to find four things that represent the 1960s when the school was first built. The team that wins will place their items in a time capsule and get their pictures taken for the time capsule too. Jessica is naturally all over this. She dreams of how much people will love her when they see her picture in the capsule. Jessica and Lila form a team filled with Unicorns, while Elizabeth and Amy form a team with Julie. Their teacher suggests they ask George Henkel to join as their fourth. They don't really know him, but they ask and he agrees. It turns out that Elizabeth does some volunteer work for his dad, but George explains that he lives with his aunt and uncle and doesn't talk to his dad. Jessica's team goes to the mall and run into Bruce, who shows him the h...
