Fear Street # 61
Hmm. It seems like every 11 to 12 year old who lives on Fear Street is upset that they haven't been picked-on by the supernatural yet. Dylan Brown has wanted to see a ghost since forever. It's his passion. His brother Steve, on the other hand, is convinced that ghosts don't exist. Dylan becomes distracted when his dad clears some trees from their backyard - which backs onto the Fear Street Woods - and reveals the remains of a treehouse in the distance. Though in ruins, Dylan can see that it was spectacular once and wants to fix it up. He gets his brother to help him, but they are told off by two sisters who are visiting over their Spring Break and tell them the legend of the kids who built that tree house and then died there. Dylan is more excited then ever to fix up the treehouse, but he may regret wanting to meet a ghost after all.
This was not bad at all. 'Treehouse' contributes to the lore of Shadyside, and we get decent characterization with the Browns. Dylan and Steve's competitive relationship and their mania for deal-making gives them a bit more personality than your average resident of Shadyside. I also like the ending of this one.
