Chain Letter by Christopher Pike

 

Fran, Kipp, Brenda, Neil, Joan, Tony and Alison had all gone to a party this evening. They had been drinking and was heading out to go home. Five of them were in one car and Alison and Fran were having problems with the car they were with. Tony was driving the other car and pulled up to ask what the problem was. Alison said her car wasn't starting and could they get a ride. First, Joan began to bitch about not having any room. Tony told them to come on and they would make room some how. 

They had been trying to find the freeway. But, they headed the wrong way. Driving down an old road into the desert. Joan, got cocky and turned the lights out. A little while later the ran over something big. Alison and the other girls screamed, that they ran over someone that they hit. Tony stopped the car, they all piled out of the car to take a look. Sure enough, it was a guy laying on the road. Checking to see if he was breathing and he wasn't. They all freaked. Then, they started to fight among themselves. Saying they should call the cops. They then, decided to just carry him out into the desert and bariel him. 

A few days goes by and Fran gets a chain letter. It tells her what she needs to do. It also has all her friends name on it. She makes a few phone calls and get everyone together. They get together after school. They start to accuse each other of the other ones sending the letter to them. They just don't know what to make of it. So, they decide to follow what it tells them to do. There are two rows and they are just going to do the first ones. 

Things in the first row was pretty easy for each of them. Once they get to the second row, Neil starts to have some problems. Then, one day they hear that there's a fire at his house and that he died in the fire. They never thought he would do such a thing. After the funeral, Fran and Kipp ended up disappearing.  No, one knew where they were. 

In the long run things turn out strange. You'll have to read the book to find out how it ends. There is two books in one. If you think it stops it doesn't. It's a great book.
