Dread Locks by Neal ShustermanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Yikes what a dark story. It is an excellent retelling of a classic myth. Parker is immediately influenced by his new neighbor Tara. He is so enchanted with her, he soon throws his friends and classmates under the bus. It is hard to blame him, because reason would dictate there was nothing to be deadly afraid of... The story is full of insightful messages that can be compared to everyday life, such as the penalties of hanging out with the wrong person, or the dangers of being in denial of your surroundings... While it makes for a disturbing bedtime story it is a quick and enjoyable read.
