What do You think about Misty (1999)?
As a novel on its own for teenage readers, it was a decent read. Back then I still got excited every time a new VCA book came out. I was a bit disappointed that Neiderman hadn't gone back to a full series after finishing this one, but by gum, I still got excited!However now ten years later, I'm no longer excited. Compared to the crud that Mr. Neiderman is now writing under VCA's name (Gemini, Shadows, Flower, Attic, Delia, Heavenstone series) Misty is definitely a better read in its own right. However, as a VCA book it's unacceptable. Yeah, Misty has problems, her dad and mom hate one another, blah blah, but she sounds as if she just likes to be rebellious on top of the justified anger she feels towards her parents. For a tween book, it's not bad. 2.5/5 stars.
