P.J. Night - ADVISABLE


Night, P.J. Best Friends Forever, 144 p.  Simon, 2012.  $6.  Content: G.  Amy feels left behind when her best friend moves across the country.  Whitney, the new girl in town, seems eager to be friends, however and the girls start spending time together.  Whitney, however, seems to be overly fond of her old doll collection – and overly possessive of Amy’s time and friendship.  Maybe Amy should get far away – or maybe Whitney has other plans.  Ok – I thought this one was truly creepy!  I had a hard time finishing it – that creepy!

Night, P.J. Is She For Real?  141 p. Simon, 2012.  $6.  Content: PG (creepy, not bloody).  Even moving to a new town, Bethany’s life is pretty perfect.  She has a new 7th grade crowd, she has a boyfriend and Nate, the boy, has even given her a beautiful old ruby ring.  But there is a mysterious evil in Warwick and it seems to have attached itself to the ring – and to Bethany.  Who will ultimately be in control?  Night’s books are delightfully creepy!  EL – ESSENTIAL; MS – ADVISABLE.
