I love books like this. It reminds of the Fear Street books by R.L. Stine! Entertaining and fun.

April Fools

In the book "April Fools," by Richie Tankersley Cusick, three teenagers, Belinda, Frank, and Hildy, were involved in a deadly car accident on April 1st including three other people. These kids were so frightened they didn't even want to wait for the cops so they ran before anyone else could witness what happened. A few days after the accident, they found out that two of the passengers did not survive that accident and only one did with serious injuries. They felt really sorry for the other passengers, but they were too afraid to admit what happened, even though what happened really wasn't their fault. Then a few months later, the teens have tried new things to get that accident out of their minds. Belinda started a tutoring job to help kids with their studies that weren't able to get to school for a legitimate reason. Only one kid needed her help and his name was Adam. He was in a car accident a few months ago and was bruised up over his body and had a few broken bones. She felt really comfortable around him and his family and has also met a handsome guy, which who was Adam's brother, named Noel. Later after she met Adam, Belinda has received in her mail a bloody doll's head and someone has even attempted to run her over with their car. Belinda has been real traumatized after all this and had been freaking out thinking that Adam has done it all by himself because everything always seemed to lead to him; he has even been really suspicious around the house whenever Belinda was present. She tried her best just to help him with all he needs and has been on him since then, but Noel really doesn't think it was him. It is obvious someone has witnessed the car accident and they are paying her back for what she did. Is it really Adam that has been behind all the pranks or was it someone else that witnessed it with them? Whoever it is, they really want her to pay for what she did. The pranks are still happening to her even as April Fools' Day has already passed. This is a very good book. I have enjoyed reading it and I do recommend this to anyone that likes books that has them thinking the whole way through. Every chapter has something new happening and it is just very hard to put the book down. I rated this book five stars because it is sort of a suspenseful book that has your mind working through the whole thing. Hope you enjoy it!

Do you want my opinion? too bad! your gonna hear it anyway!

This was a great book! I must admitt I enjoyed some others more like...Vampire, Lifegaurd(justine =(!), Silent Stalker, and Fatal Secrets^^sugio! anyways...this isn't a summary..more of...what if..or HOW it should have ended in my opinion...hence the title. SPOILERS! cover your eyes! Okay, Does ANYone think that Belinda and Adam could have been a couple? I mean it..really! think about it. I LOVE mysterious guys and not murderous or anything ^^ but I dont know..not all lovy and all well..kinda..Noel. Trust me, I liked him! but I think if Belinda got through to Adam...like he fell for her because of her kindness and firey aditude..well don't you think its romantic? Like..they fight..but fall for eachother..or somethin..and the way they described him in the picture*melts* it's ironic because I like blonds myself yet in books I always fall for my oposite. Well..readers take a second look...cause I was looking forward to that the hole damn time! =P o well! enjoy! =*)

It was an awesome mystery book!!

This book was great. It would especially be great for people who like action adventure and mystery. It was also scary. There parts in the book that just wanted to make you read more! I couldn't stop reading the chapters, I had to keep going because it was so good. It all started at a party that Frank, Belinda, and Hildy shouldn't have been at. They saw a car off the road but didn't help them. Then, the pranks started happening to Belinda. The accident was caused on purpose but knowbody knew that. Two kids caused it on purpose so they could get the money and wealth from the will. If you want to find out what happened, read the book.

I hate reading but Richie makes me interested and now I read

Its were a girl, Belinda, and some of her friends are coming home from a party and get involed in an accident with another car. The way the other car fell noone could of survived the crash. But someone did, THE MURDER. And Belinda is getting bad jokes from the murder, for example a bloody dolls head. I recomemed you read this book.

It was the best of it's kind

I likes when Belinda find a bloody doll's head in the mailbox. Special Delivery! A book such as this one, draws people to it. It is like a magnet. As soon as I began I could not stop reading until I finished the book. It was very hard to stop.
