The Runaway

I missed the Fear Street craze in my youth, and grew up on Christopher Pike instead. I grabbed a bunch of these to read to prepare for Halloween. This one concerns Felicia, a girl cursed with telekinesis and the worst friends ever. She's on the run from the lab that has been running tests on her and she lands in a pretty comfortable situation. For some ridiculous reason, she enrolls herself in school and gets a job. All of this with a false identity. I would have liked Felicia if she would have had something going on besides a huge crush on a guy. Things just sort of happen to her and we have some pretty cool emergence of her “powers” later on in the book. Overall, it is a light romance filled with violently insane girls who have jealousy issues. It is not awful, and the chapters leave off on little cliffhangers in order to keep the reader engaged.
