Payback

Dylan O'Connor #4

by Deb Loughead

Dylan O'Connor is in trouble again. While riding his bike home after dark, he has a run-in with a truck but doesn't give it a second thought until police show up at his door the next day. CCTV cameras put Dylan at the scene of a crime, and when the police question him, Dylan realizes he was an inadvertent witness. But he doesn't tell them the driver of the truck was Jeff Walker, a nasty piece of work. Dylan knows it's in his best interests to keep his mouth shut. Then he starts getting stalked by Jeff's weirdo sidekick, Eliot Barnes, a classmate of Dylan's. Is Eliot trying to protect Dylan, or is he making sure he stays silent?

This is the fourth story featuring Dylan O'Connor after The Snowball Effect , Caught in the Act , and Rise of the Zombie Scarecrows .

This was an okay story, but probably my least favorite in the Dylan O'Connor series. I didn't like the ending because Dylan lied to his girlfriend about having the the carving made, Eliot made it on his own for Dylan to give and without Dylan's knowledge that he was making it.

2.5 stars

Payback was okay. I felt like Dylan was different in this book than the other ones. I don't think he would be afraid to say who was in the truck (especially to his friends), but maybe I'm wrong. Still, the story was too simple for my liking.

A good book about learning to do the right thing, even when it is difficult. A good high/low book.
