Fresh Fiction Review

Don't Stay Up Late
R.L. Stine

Reviewed by Teresa Cross

Young Adult Paranormal

The latest R.L. Stine suspense novel for children (and those young at heart.) will keep you up all night if you are not careful. There should be no surprise with a title like DON'T STAY UP LATE. It has all the spooky elements that R.L. Stine is known for so it will not disappoint those that grew up reading his books.

The suspense, interesting characters, and the surprise ending that you didn't see coming. There's no wonder that this man can still surprise you with the turn of every page. What I liked about reading DON'T STAY UP LATE is that I found every night I was promising myself I would stop reading at the end of a chapter so I could go to bed. However, when I got to the end, I had to read another chapter. Before long, you find yourself up way too late. And maybe a little bit frightened.

In this story, Lisa Brooks is having nightmares and hallucinations after suffering from a wreck that she and her family was in. As she tries to get better she starts babysitting for Brenda's son, Harry. They live on Fear Street and Lisa has been warned to not take the job. But her family needs the money. Things start to get worse for Lisa instead of better. She is hallucinating more and her friends are being murdered. Is there a connection?

I love trying to figure out what will become of the main character in suspense like this. Is she really going crazy or is she not? You had no clue to what was happening next. When you thought you knew, boom, just like that and you are surprised! DON'T STAY UP LATE by R.L. Stine is a must to read. I recommend this in the evening if you dare! Just don't stay up too late.

SUMMARY

R.L. Stine's hugely successful young adult horror series Fear Street is back after almost 2 decades. Fear Street is a worldwide phenomenon and helped to kick off the young adult craze which is still going strong today. In the second new book in this series, Don't Stay Up Late, Stine explores the unbridled terror of a damaged young lady sent on a doomed babysitting job.

Ever since a car accident killed her father and put Lisa and her mother into the hospital, Lisa can't think straight. She's plagued by nightmares and hallucinations that force her to relive the accident over and over again in vivid detail. When Lisa finds out that a neighbor is looking for a babysitter for her young son, she takes the job immediately, eager to keep busy and shake these disturbing images from her head.

But what promised to be an easy gig turns terrifying when Lisa begins to question exactly who—or what—she is babysitting. R.L. Stine makes his triumphant return to Shadyside in the new Fear Street book Don't Stay Up Late.
