Penny and her friends know that it was Caleb doing all of the terrible things to the town, but the police can't do anything about it because they don't have any evidence. The kids decide that if no one is going to do anything then they have to stop Caleb themselves. Except now they are in greater danger. Caleb is now after them.
I loved this fiction this book. It was a thriller. I didn't know what to expect. I had to keep reading to figure out what would happen next. I would rate this book a 5 out of 5.

I read Jennifer Holm's "Boston Jane" series - they were pretty good, too!
