My nephew loves this entire series so I thought I'd pick it up to see why he likes it so much. 

I can see how this is a good horror book for preteens and teens alike. It has creepiness, and just enough childhood nostalgia to make it more realistic. In this one the characters involved start to remember and realize things from their childhood, they realize things weren't what they thought. It isn't until they go back to the pizza place though that they really start to remember what happened and are able to put the pieces together for where their missing friend has been all this time.
