About this title

From School Library Journal:

Paul Mendez's ghost comes back to haunt Melissa Dryden, as he knows that she killed him. Melissa has no recollection of his murder and is terrified that he will avenge himself by taking her life. When she meets the "real" Paul at a dance, she begins to understand that his death will occur in the future, and she and the ghost Paul unsuccessfully try to change the future. Readers will identify with Melissa, who is caring and compassionate, while Paul is a typical tough guy. Still, his is a well-drawn characterization. In other titles in this series, Fear Street is described as a menacing place; the appropriate details help create and sustain that mood. That description is glossed over in this book, diminishing the suspense. While this could be purchased as an addition to the series, it's better to hook new readers with one of the earlier books first. --Molly Kinney, North Dade Regional Lib . , Miami, FL
