Prom Date is a great YA thriller.
There is a break-in at the dress shop called, the Quartet. Some prom dresses are destroyed. The destroyed dresses were gonna be worn to the prom by some of the most popular girls of Toomey High, whom Margaret Dunne and her friends
The book really starts out on Chapter-3, where the Toomey High School senior picnic is being held. The main character, Margaret is bored and goes to the old aging lighthouse, which she loves going to despite the danger and warning signs. As she listened to the breakers crashing into the rocks she is met by the voice of Mitch McGill, one of the most popular/nicest boy from her school. They chatted for a little while and end up talking about the break-in at her mother's dress shop, the Quartet. Mitch's brother was one of the cops that night. While they were walking back to the picnic they heard a scream that came from the lighthouse. They ran back.
They find the body of Stephanie Markham(one of the 'pops') in the water.
People think that it was just an accident and think that the old rail on the lighthouse has just finally gave way... which led to Stephaie's dreadful fall, but then there are those that know differently...
There is someone out there that would just do about anything to get a prom date... but who is it?
I thought the ending was wonderful, almost made me teary eyed =)
