“It’s so beautiful up here!” She called down to them, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Wow! Let’s check out the attic!” She said with false enthusiasm. Īnyway, Lea hated the idea of moving to Fear Street and was all gloomy and mopey about it and after her mother scolded her about putting in more effort, Lea offered up a plate of pure sass: We flash back to when Lea’s family first inspected the house with the real estate agent, Mrs. Īs Lea arrives home after school, she starting thinking about how creepy the house is and scolds herself to chill out. Lea then hears from Deena that Don and Marci have pretty much been dating since preschool and warns her to watch out for Marci. Marci appears in the doorway and Don scurries over to her like a puppy dog. He asks Lea on a date for Saturday night and Lea is super shocked, but accepts. He reassures her that Marci will get over it, suggesting her anger is justified because “she’s a redhead.”. He’s really sweet and cute, and Lea wishes she wasn’t so darn shy.

Ī boy, Don, who was sitting at Marci’s table, comes over to help Lea clean up her mess. Don’t you go thinking she’s ugly though! She gets told she’s cute all the time, with her shaggy pixie cut and smile that lights up her face. She’s struggling to find her place at school because she’s so shy. Lea’s carrying her tray of chilli in the lunchroom when she suddenly slips over and the chilli goes all over a girl named Marci’s new white cashmere sweater! Marci is fuming and storms off to clean her sweater while everyone laughs at clumsy ox Lea. It’s Lea’s second week at Shadyside High and the only friend she’s made is Deena Martinson. Her dad has to move around for work a lot, so her parents like into move to old, dilapidated houses and fix them up before reselling when her dad transfers again, and it just so happens that they’ve selected the shabbiest house on Fear Street. Lea Carson has just moved to Shadyside with her family. Lea – Our protagonist who’s just moved to Fear Street.ĭon – Marci’s hunky boyfriend and Lea’s crush. I like the outfit though! Honestly, the cover looks like there’s a skeleton wanting privacy and Lea’s being nosy and trying to open the door. Someone – or something – is waiting for Lea in there.įirst impressions: Lea looks like Bobby from ‘The Brady Bunch’ lol. But she thinks she hears footsteps inside the secret room. A murder was committed in that room, the story goes, and it has been closed up ever since. The room has been locked and boarded up for at least a hundred years. Most creepy of all is the secret room up in the attic.

Summary: Lea Carson can’t believe it when her family moved into the creepy, old house on Fear Street. Back tagline: “Lea, I’ve been waiting so long for you…”
