Book Reviews of The Seance
Book Review: The Best Mystery Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
The Seance.. Best Mystery ever made in the history of books. Roberta, Sara, and Lauren were the best charecters. Very Mysterious and adventerous. I've read many Mystery and horror and this one has to be the greatest. Mystery and horror combined it's all in one. A haunted thicket and a Seance. It screams bloody murder in the bayou.These very religous people have seen nothing like this ever. This book totally deserves the reviews its getting. This book was very "twisty" because you never knew Sara or Roberta would die. and Lauren would end up in the hospital.Book Review: The Séance

The Séance
Joan Lowery Nixon - Mystery
Lauren lives with her aunt Melvamay in a small town in Texas. Lauren's mother died when she was four and was then raised by her aunt. Her father was drafted into the army and was killed in a truck accident. Lauren also shares her house with Sara Martin whose mother sent her away to live in Lauren's town. One day Roberta Campion, a girl who says she can contact the dead, decides to have a séance with ten other girls. Lauren and Sara are two of the ten who get invited. Sara said she would use the séance as a distraction while she sneaks out of town with another man. When they arrive, Roberta turns off the lights and lights a candle. When all is quiet Sara screams out in distress and is never seen again. The next morning she is found dead in a pond that resides in the Thicket. After a period of time another girl from the séance is murdered. Lauren needs to figure out what happened - or she could be next.
Joan Nixon's writing makes you sit on the edge of your seat at times and thankfully provides sighs of relief at other times. Once you get ten or so pages into the book she makes you not want to stop. Every chapter keeps you asking questions, but those questions are always answered later.
I liked this book because it was very action-packed and provided puzzles you needed to solve. This book does not have a deep meaningful plot. If you like books that are packed with action, keep you on the edge of your seat and make you want to know what happens next, then this is your book.

Summary: 5 Stars
This story is about a girl named Lauren. She lives with her Aunt Mel and a foster kid named Sara. Lauren and Sara are both 17, but very different. Sara gets all the guys and Lauren doesn't. She has a best friend named Allie. There is a girl at school named Roberta who claims she can talk to the dead. Sara wants her to hold a Seance. When they do something went very wrong. Sara dissapeared at the seance. Two days later they found her body at the thicket. About one week later they found Roberta's body there too. Lauren needs to find out who the murder is, before she becomes the next victim or is she already the next victim.
My 11 year old daughter read this book in three days. She loves her Joan Lowery Nixon's books. Probably because she loves horror stories and ghosts. I can say one thing she didn't inherit that from me. Probably her grandmother on her dad's side gave her that! It gets your adrenilin rushing!
Book Review: The Seance
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked this book a lot because it had a lot of suspense and it had an amazing story line. The book had good character development also, even for the minor characters. The book convinced you that each of these characters were real people, due to its amazing details. The book was amazing and I liked it a lot. I couldn't put it down and I always wanted to read more.
I recommend this book to anyone from 7th grade to 11th grade. This is a good book for most teenagers because it deals with controlling guardians who try and run your life and every teenager feels like their parents are like that. It is also good because it has an element of scary and at the same time mystery and suspense. This was a really good book and I think others should read this book also.
