I have read many of Joan Lowery Nixon's books, and I love all that I have read. This book popped out at me while I was going through a book shelf. I bought it, took it home, and couldn't put it down it kept me at the edge of my seat troughout the whole book. When I read her books I can picture the people and where they are so well it seems like I'm there. I hope many people find her books as great as I do!!

This book is a Great book to read. The first book that I read of Joan Lowery Nixon and makes me want to read more of her books. This book makes you wonder who the person is. This book is about a group of kids having their car break down and going to this house in the rain. Then, Lisa (the main character) has to use her magician skills in order to catch the person who is trying to get them out of the house. Great book, I recommend it to everybody who loves mystery books!!!
A Deadly Game of Magic

A Deadly Game of Magic is the first book that I read by Joan Lowry Nixon. I believe she is an incredible author. Her characters seem so real, that you are drawn into the story with them. As the book progresses, the plot thickens and the danger becomes more real. I would recommend that anyone read this book and follow Nixon's characters as they play their game- their deadly game of magic.
SPOOKY!

This book was one of the best books I ever read. It is so good and spooky. I could not put it down. I was reading it for like 3 hrs straight when I got home from school. It was so scary, and I don't know how Joan got the idea for this book. It's really suspenseful and wonderful, and also very very very unique! I could read this book again and again! I sssooooo reccomend this book. READ IT NOW!
This book is so suspensful! You can't put it down!

All of Joan Lowery Nixon's books are great. You can't put them down! You get into them so well, it's like you're there, experiencing it yourself! They get so suspensful, you finish one chapter, can't stop and turn the page as fast as you can, and all of a sudden, you've read the whole book in two hours, non-stop, with nightmares that night! This book makes you wonder, for instance... what's at the end of the hall? You see, this group of kids put on a performance and lost in the contest. They all felt so bad. So on their way home, they got caught in a thunderstorm and got lost. They ended up in a spooky mansion. They called a cab since their car wouldn't start anymore. The cab driver got at the mansion and had to go to the bathroom. He went down the long, dark, spooky hall and poked his head into the room at the end of the hall. He came running back down the hall, scared out of his mind, and fainted in front of the main character. It's really freaky, and you have to finish reading it right away to find out Who-Dunnit. If you read it non-stop, you really get into it, but if you read it like 20 minutes a day, it's not as good as it was meant. But it really grabs hold of you and i recommend it to absolutely anybody. Anybody would like it. I've read all of Nixon's books and they are just super. I garantee it.
