Teacher's Pet by Richie Tankersley Cusick (1990)

3 out of 5 stars

Kate is a horror fan and a budding writer, and is excited to be accompanying her English teacher to a writing conference. On arrival, the famous author who is supposed to be teaching classes is missing. And that is just the first of many strange things that start to happen...

This story felt a little more 'adult' that some of the other books in the Point Horror series. I think the setting of the writing conference had something to do with that as it took us out of the familiar high school setting. Also, there were some older characters (and some questionable romantic moments). And there is a skinny-dipping scene, which felt a little risque for what is essentially a kids book!

I thought this one was okay, it was quite fun and fast-paced. I did not guess the reveal at the end and I quite enjoyed the far-fetched and bonkers storyline!
