Not my favorite of the bunch. It seems lacking in the creepy department compared to all the others I've read. The story doesn't have the same punch, mystery or interesting ending that most Fear Street books have. I just wish I could remember which ones I really loved as a kid so I could revisit those without sifting through the entire series.

This was so much fun! I love that we get some tidbits of the creepiness of Fear Street and why no one likes to go around there. So far, I like this one better than the others I've read. The characters are enjoyable, and the detective bits are great.

My favorite "Fear Street" book of the first 5! So fun! Like "Rear Window" for teens and through landline phones, a fun mystery/thriller with relatable fun characters and very of little cheesy/corny twists that R.L. Stine is known for (thank goodness). Lots of fun!

Loved these as a teen rereading them as an adult though I found myself rolling my eyes with how preposterous some of the story is
