Prank callers: this is the book for you. This book really keeps your interest; it's a real page turner. This book is about a teen boy named Andy, whose mother had died a couple of years before. My favorite part of the book is when Andy gets a call from a strange person named Zeke. Andy has just picked up the phone and hears a voice that he has never heard before. It sounded strange. "I just killed someone." the caller said. Andy was terrified and had no idea of what to do. He didn't know if he should start laughing and say "good joke" or take it seriously and call the police.
Afew days later he had told his father, some of his friends and even the police . He had no ciue about who it was that called him. Unfortunately no one believed him. They all thought that the call was fake but Andy had a feeling that it was real. "Anything in the paper?" "Nothing," said Andy. "Probably didn't find her yet."
The police man that he talked to told his principal and they thought that he was just starting to go through a phase of depression because of the death of his mother. He decided to investigate and he found out more than he was inclined to. Nina Klemmer looked just like Zeke explained her. He found out that he might not be the only target.
I really enjoyed the book it was suspenseful. You didn't know who called him and if it was real or fake. You really didn't want to put the book down. It was a quick read but it still was excellent. I would strongly recommend this book to kids in 6th grade that like to read.
