Teen Hyde: High School Horror

Description

Head Cheerleader Cassidy Hyde's life should have been perfect. But it really, really wasn't, and she's about ready to give up and disappear. Until, the first time she takes Sunshine. This new experimental drug makes Cassidy feel like the perfect, golden girl once again. A little memory loss seems like a small price to pay to get her life back . . . at least until boys start to go missing... boys that Cassidy NEVER wanted to think of again... Thus begins Chandler Baker's second twisty-turny retelling of a familiar tale, once again set in the town of Hollow Pines, Texas, where high school is truly horrifying.

Chandler Baker grew up in Florida, went to college in Pennsylvania, and studied law in Texas, where she now lives with her family and an ever-growing pile of books. Although she loves spinning tales with a touch of horror, she is a much bigger scaredy-cat than her stories would lead you to believe. In addition to the High School Horror series, Chandler is the author of the young adult novel, Alive. Visit her online at chandlerbaker.com

Recommend to fans of Shelley's original and teens ready for more intrigue than R. L. Stine's Fear Street series has to offer. --Booklist There's a lot of humor--especially in Adam's not-too-successful attempts at imitating teen behavior. Tor is a prickly, unintentionally abrasive character whom some readers will find downright refreshing. --Kirkus Reviews In this trilogy opener, Baker takes the essence of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein; throws in heaps of high school drama; mystery, and murder; and then sets it in the small town of Hollow Pines, TX. --School Library Journal
