Customer Reviews

Thrilling and heart-wrenching

It is an amazingly unpredictable book with so many thrilling scenes and times in the book. I would definitely read this book and all of the other Who Killed Peggy Sue books.

Peegy Sue

Whoah....a better Sweet Valley High. This book was very entertaining and one of those books to be read in an hour. I cant wait for the mystery to be solved! Spike is a very cool character and the dweed rocks. It has a very realistic setting unlike Sweet Valley. Lacey is a very complex character and Raven gives it a bit of a realistic touch.

A Very Well-Written, Very Entertaining Book

This book is the first of a series of four wonderful, very-well written, very entertaining books. They take place in a high school in California (kinda reminds me of my old high school!). The highlight is the Peach Blossom Contest & Ball. Whoever wins the contest will be nicknamed Pretty Peggy Sue because that year's theme is the 50's. At the end of this book you find out which of the four contestants win the contest and who dies. (You have to wait until the end of the fourth book to find out who the killer is!) The characters are all very well developed. I love the Dweeb! He is the greatest! He adds a lot to the books!
