Party Games by R.L. Stine
In the book, Party Games by R. L.
Stine, everything seems weird when the main character, Rachel Martin, was
invited to her crush, Brendon Fear’s birthday party on his family’s private
secluded island called Fear Island.
Weird events start occurring the day before the party before the guests
left the town of Shadyside. Rachel finds
a dead rat in her bed as she is going to sleep.
As the guests start heading to the island, scary things continued to
occur. At the party Brendan and Rachel
were partners for the scavenger hunt.
This was not the type of game Rachel expected as her friends started
dying. However, at the end Rachel
learned that it was just a game Brendan made up and her friends were in on it
and were acting. The book took and even
weirder turn when Rachel’s ex-boyfriend’s father kidnapped Brendan and Rachel.
R. L. Stine was successful in making
the book a mystery. The story continued
the suspense until the end of the book.
The writing flow of the book was easy to read and follow. The content of the book of the book
outweighed the flaws as you were always trying to figure out what would happen
next. The book appeals to middle school
aged teens. Teens can relate to the
feeling of doing things for their crush’s attention and the excitement of going
to parties. This title is definitely
worth having in a book collection. Connor H.; Teen Reviewer
