Nixon, Joan Lowery. The Dark and Deadly Pool. NY: Dell Yearling, 1987. 179 pages. (Mystery)
This story is about a girl named Liz who works at the Ridley Hotel. Liz, Fran, and Detective Jarvis are the main characters. The story mainly takes place in the Ridley Hotel. It also takes place at Liz’s house. The problems they face are that someone is stealing stuff from the hotel and strange things are happening. They try to solve it by staying in the dark and trying to find out clues why all these weird things are happening. Some other interesting events that happen in this story are a romance between Liz and Fran. They are way different and Liz feels awkward around him because she is so much taller than him. Liz reminds me of my very best friend because she is tall, pretty, and their personalities are about the same. She sometimes feels awkward around people who are shorter than her that she likes.
I didn’t really like this book. I didn’t like it because in the first chapter is like the only part where the creature attacks her. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes stories about other people’s lives.
