I actually loved this book. It was one I had read as a young teenager and it stuck with me years later. Took me over a decade to find it again as I couldn’t remember the name or author, just the plot, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was just as good as I remembered.

I have no idea how she does it but Joan lowery Nixon has successfully written ANOTHER short thrilling YA mystery! So far, all of her books that I've read have been unique, interesting and very entertaining. I love her as an author and can't believe she's come up with all of these different plots! Don't Scream was about a high schooler named Jess in the state of Texas. Two new boys move into town, Mark and Scott, and everything about them isn't as it seems. There's a connection between them, and they act strange. Jess is suspicious of Scott and Mark is her next door neighbor. At the very beginning of the book it shows a letter with a court recording of someone named Wayne Randell. With the jury's consent he was given a new identity! Jess doesn't ever catch on to them but the reader does. Which one of them is Wayne? Who's the sociopath and who's seeking revenge? Why are cats disappearing and who's behind it? It's all in this short 165 page book.
