Customer Reviews

One of the Best Teen Novels You Haven't Heard Of

I read these novels avidly when I was growing up, and they made such an impression on me, that I could probably still give you a synopsis of each one. My dad took an interest as well, and pretty soon my entire family (and grandparents!) were reading these, anxious for the next one. They are quite frightening and suspenseful at times, but that's what makes them such good reading.

Memorable S

I read this book probably 20 or so years ago and was hooked from page 1. Thankfully, I was able to find the complete series (through much searching in various bookstores - this was way before the days of the internet) and each one was great. My only regret was that the Seigel's only made it a 4 part series. I always hoped they would come out with one more and even though I'm in my early 30s now and the book was geared to a younger audience, I would look forward to it.

Great Books!

I read a couple of these books either in Jr. High or High school. I remember finding the first one in my brothers room and reading itthrough in a couple hours and I loved it! I also read number 4 and loved it. I tried to look up the rest at the time and coudn't find them. I wish Barbara and scott Siegel had finished the series and that the books weren't out of print, I would love to find out what happenes!

The nagging question

I too read Firebrats when I was in highschool. I only read the first one and because I turned the book in late to the library I never went back because I didn't want to pay the fee...don't tell:) Unfortunately what I created was this nagging question of what happened!!! I am now 25 and I am trying to find the complete set so that I can finally see what happened to the two lead characters. One book and i was hooked.

Good book for teenagers

I read this book while in High School. It was a fast paced read that in many ways is like a show on the disney channel. At times the characters are put into morality situations which the author then pounds the "proper" response into the readers. Don't mistake me though. I found this book to be a very good read and am posting a review only because I remembered the book and decided to try and find the set online to buy as I would like to re-read it. Given I'm now 30 years old perhaps that shows just how memerable to book was.I wouldn't give it 5 stars, but for a teen it is a good 4 star book.
