Lisa Brooks is a teenager who is forced to move to the
town
of Shadyside and is not very happy about it all. However,
as
teenagers are known to do, she has made a couple of
friends
within a short time and even has a boyfriend. Other than
her
parents being rather overly protective, her life was going
ok.
Then, tragedy strikes her family. She is still reeling
from
the events when she suddenly begins to see a creature at
night who looks more like a monster than anything remotely
human. No one believes her and she is soon seeing a
psychiatrist to help her move past her grief and any
feelings of guilt that she may be harboring. As she begins
to recover, her psychiatrist feels that it is time for her
to get a small job to aid in her recovery.
It is a babysitting job for an adorable and beautiful
eight year
old little boy. He and his mother live on the very creepy
Fear Street. His mother has specific instructions about
her
little boy's bedtime and is willing to pay an astronomical
amount of money for three days of babysitting per week.
Lisa does pretty well the first few nights. It is on the
night that she gives in to the little boy's pleas to stay
up
late that her nightmares come true.
R. L. Stine shows, once again, that he is one of the
reasons
that people of all ages love to read. He grabs you
immediately from the first page and pulls you along as
events unfold quickly and horrifically. You simply cannot
stop reading until you know how everything works out.
DON'T STAY UP LATE lives up to the reputation that Mr.
Stine
has built over his extensive and remarkable career. While
it
may be geared toward young people, this is a story that
adults will find deliciously shivery as well. Whatever
sort
of weirdness this man cooks up, it will never be less than
a
genius creation.
All Stine fans must read DON'T STAY UP LATE. It will not
disappoint. Besides, you know you want to.
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.
