From School Library Journal Grade 5-8-- Many teenage novels that could be good are not because the main characters have no redeeming value， or are not the least bit interesting. Beach Party ， unfortunately， falls into that category; thus， when the main characters are murdered or their lives are threatened， most readers won't care. Stine is a good writer of many young adult novels， but this particular offering can be passed over without a thought. --Alice Cronin， Mountainside Public Lib .， NJCopyright 1991 Reed Business Information， Inc.
