Four kids drive home after a high-school-party, everyone - including the driver - a bit intoxicated and tipsy. Then happens what always happens in such situations: an accident on a dark road. They knocked over a young boy, riding with his bicycle. For fear of the police they don't administer first aid but instead do a hit-and-run.
One year later - they've almost forgotten the incident, they're reminded of it via mysterious letters. Someone outside of their circle seems to know their dark secr...more

a young teenager or somebody who feels like one some days
I am moving along in my vintage summer project. I was reading The Longstockings blog a while back and one of Lois Duncan's books was mentioned. I remembered passionately loving Locked In Time when I was a very young teenager and enjoying a few other books. I decided that this summer, in the middle of my other reading, I would read all of Lois Duncan's books; for fun and for memories of being a teenager.
Anyway, this one was better than most of hers. I have noticed that many, many o...more

A great mystery, heart-stopping and a big page-turner. This book was a great pleasure to read, once i cracked open the cover, the book stayed glued into my hands until the last page of the book.
This book is about these four teenagers that have done a horrible act; they hit a little boy while they were driving by accident and instead of taking responsibility and notifying the police, they decided to leave this horrifying moment into the grave and forget this ever happen. That was going smoothly ...more

This book is nothing like the movie, though definitely written for a mid to older teen.
The story is creepy and realistic enough to make you tense. The basic premise of a few high school kids accidentally hitting a child as they drive home from a night out.
I've not read it since I was a teen and still remember the story pretty clearly because it scared and touched me so much!

Its mostly about horror. A carzy man chases a group of kids that have been bad to him. He kills a them one by one. They do not know who it is who is killing their friends but they are getting killed. This book teaches me to not mess with people that can kill me.....

I read this book in Jr High and had a hunch it was made into a movie when I saw the previews. I thought the book was great. It was the first of many books of this genre (and of Lois Duncan's) that I started reading while everyone else stuck to Sweet Valley High and Sweet Dreams books. When the movie did come out, I watched scratching my head and thinking that I don't remember mos tof it in the book.

SO much better than the movie. Sometimes with film horror, it's so unrealistic it ceases to be frightening. This novel, while aimed at a younger audience than the R-rated movie, is much creepier because you could actually believe it might happen.

This is a very scary and semi violent book. Although it is very well written. Don't base whether you liked the movie or not. The book is very different!!!

This book talks about 4 teens that do something horible during hte summer. They all make a pact agreeing that they well never speak of it again. One year later they have forgotten al about that but that changes when one of the teens get a message that says "I know what you did last summer". Another teens gets a newspaper reading about the accident. The othe rteen gets a picture of something that resembles the accident. and the last one gets seriosly injured. I am not saying how though....more

The review on the back cover makes it out to be creepy and action-packed, but trust me, it's a total bore!

I really loved this book. It was excellent. I just couldn't put the book down. You would never guess who the person that is trying to scare the kids turns out to be. I absolutley adored this book. Very suspenseful.
