NEWBIES. - SIGNED!
by James. A. Moore.
NY: Dorchester Publishing, 2004. First Edition. 4 x 7. Paperback. As New / As New. ISBN: 0843954744. Review: This is an engaging preadolescent to early teen horror tale that emphasizes the struggle to belong when one is an outsider, but does so inside a mystery that ultimately takes a twist into the horror genre. The story line grips young readers as they will appreciate how Brittany stands up for herself and her friends against nasty fellow students (think the snob beauties at the prom in Barrymore's Never Been Kissed), bullying Townie, and a malevolence that threatens her life and that of her pals. Youthful fans will appreciate this fine tale as long as they are not attending a sleep over academy. Harriet Klausner, Amazon. 197 pp.
