Sam loves amusement
park rides, the scarier the better. When she wins a ticket to the newest ride,
Dragon’s Tooth, she is over joyed. But its only 1 ticket, so her parents must
stay behind as she goes off with a scared little boy in a mine car, down into
the earth. Things start to go gravely wrong, and Sam tries to protect the boy.
Turns out nothing is what it seems.
This was more
horror than anything. I think it was cold, dark, and didn’t have much to redeem
itself. I wouldn’t want my students reading this. There is some very
descriptive injuries and terror that isn’t great for Elementary. But the plot
would be a bit too childish for older students.
