(  ) GaylDasherSmith | Oct 19, 2008 |  Nightmare is a thrilling mystery. It is suspenseful right up to the last few pages. Nixon reveals clues and relevant information as the story unravels and keeps the reader interested and intrigued. There are twists to keep the reader guessing. The characters are easy to relate to and would appeal to young adult readers. It is sufficiently scary without being gory. The mystery is believable. Nixon creates great visual images. The tactic of changing narrators from Emily to the stalker is effective and adds to the suspense. The story is quick paced and hard to put down. The underachieving character may appeal to reluctant readers. (  ) bmozanich | Mar 22, 2008 | High-schooler Emily has a recurring nightmare. Many years earlier she had witnessed a horrible event and repressed everything. One summer she is a reluctant enrolee at a camp for underachievers and something about it feels familiar. With the help of two new friends, she discovers her nightmare is connected with this very camp and that someone there will do anything - even kill- to keep Emily from remembering. prkcs | Jan 31, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
