What Holly Heard

Stine, R.L.

The setting of this book was mostly inside of the school.  Holly, who is a main character at first, hears a rumor about a boy named Noah and a girl named Mia killing Mia’s mom.  The school is where Holly first heard the secret. Later in the book, the secret seemed to have murdered Holly which led Miriam (her best friend) to wonder about who killed Holly and why. As the book went on their was numerous suspects for her murder, but no one to be sure about. The only two suspects that were to be identified were Mia and Noah because holly heard the secret from them, but it was to be proven that it wasn't them. But was it truly them. This was then led to finding the mystery killer. My favorite part in the book had to be when the killer was found. It seemed weird at first but as I read on, it slowly started to make sense to me. The reason for it wasn’t great at the end but it was a really great book and I hope to read more like it. The age group this is appropriate for is the ages between (12-15). I recommended that numbers for these ages because of the violence. I rate this book a 3-4 because the ending didn’t really make sense to me. This book is recommended to anyone who likes mystery and horror. It’s one of the greatest books I read so far in my life and I’m already 14. If you wanted an interesting book that will have you wondering and shivering every page that you turn. You need to get “What Holly Heard”.
