SOLVED: Children's/YA > SOLVED. YA Fantasy. I think about a Group of teenagers slowly killed off, only thing I recall is a person being impaled during a Pole vault event. Mainly set in a school (I think it's set in the US). Read 2002-2005. [s]

Daniel Moore | 10 comments SOLVED- I've been after this book that I read as a teenager and haven't been able to find it since.
I don't know the title and I don't remember much about it other than that it was about a group of teenagers who are killed one by one, the only death that stands out vividly is that one of them is killed by being impaled during a Pole vaulting accident.

Any ideas?! Please!

Daniel Moore | 10 comments No it's not Lord of the flies, it's mainly set in a school in the US as I recall

Daniel Moore | 10 comments I vaguely recall now that it has something to do with selling their souls to the devil to become popular


message 8: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Moore | 10 comments Unfortunately no! I just had a look through and it's not that one

Rainbowheart | 28707 comments Did it seem like it was part of a YA horror series?

Daniel Moore | 10 comments I'm not entirely sure. I recall the front cover was bright red but thats not helpful!

Rainbowheart | 28707 comments Have you ruled out everything in the Fear Street and Point Horror series?


message 12: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Moore | 10 comments Yes I've been through all of the synopses for the fear Street and Point horror, the closest was "demon" by Samantha Lee but its not that.
Must be something completely separate


message 14: by Daniel (new)

Daniel Moore | 10 comments No it's not that! The kids sell their souls to become popular but then have their souls claimed one by one and die

David Añez | 418 comments Maybe The Sold Souls by Edgar J. Hyde?

A review: "The book is about a bunch of school students who perform a ritual as part of a prank, and accidentally end up selling their souls to the devil for real. He offers them their dreams on a silver platter in return for their souls, but if they refuse they will each meet a terrible end."
