Fear Street Sagas #7
Children of Fear
The power of fear…
Luke Fier hates listening to the townspeople talk about his sister, Leah. They call her evil. They say she has unnatural powers.
Leah does have a strange talent—she can communicate with the animals. But Luke is sure she would never use this gift for evil. At least he was sure before their parents’ horrible accident.
Now Leah seems so different. So angry. Luke is almost frightened of her. Could his sister’s gift destroy them both?

A Supernatural Historical Mystery?
Luke, Leah and Corey are three children from the Fier family. They become orphans when they watch their parents die. The mother and father are on their way to a festival, when the horses go berserk and the wagon topples over.
Luke, the eldest, is sixteen when this happens. Leah is fourteen and Corey is six years old. After this happens, Corey stops speaking. Must be the trauma.
Luke does his best to keep the farm going. He puts in the crops and tends to the cows.
If an animal is not producing enough or feeling well, Leah will whisper to it. She has a special relationship to the animals. And she is able to calm them down if necessary.
But since their parents have died things are not going well for the Fier children. They are very sad and they are very scary to everyone. They will make their best attempt at healing and they will make an effort for all.
Four stars. 💫💫💫💫

3.5 stars rounded up to 4 for GR.
I don't know what it is about this book but Children of Fear is trying to make this sort of Old West horror genre that I have never really gotten into. Other Fear Street books set in the past are usually interesting to me and I don't know why this falters slightly.
I know that the ghostwriter of this one, Brandon Alexander, did A New Fear and that one was the first in this series BUT a continuation from Stine's previous Fear Street Saga timeline. A New Fear was awesome but this one...eh.
Luke Fier is sixteen years old and left to take care of his thirteen year old sister Leah and six year old brother Corey after their parents are killed in an accident when their wagon flips after the horses were frightened by lightning.
He can't get the fields plowed to grow crops and get money to keep the mayor from taking away the land when he has to deal with his sullen sister and a traumatized little boy who has not spoken since the death of their mother and father. Luke has also decided that he will not let them be separated from each other as long as possible.
There is to be horse race in town where the winner will be given $50 in 1876 dollars and Leah wants to enter with her horse Phantom. Luke knows that Leah could have a chance because she has a way with animals...a gift the same that their father had. The Wade Brothers of the town's most influential and most feared family tease Leah about entering because she is a girl yet let her sign up with something rotten up their sleeves.
During the race, Thomas Wade pulls on the reins of Phantom and nearly has Leah disqualified but soon the younger girl has her horse going faster than the others. Meanwhile, another horse goes crazy and turns to bite the neck of another horse. That horse belongs to Thomas and it bucks him to have his arm broken as Leah crosses the finish line.
The townspeople say that Leah made the other horses go crazy with her gift...that the power is evil and the mayor disqualifies her from winning the money. The Fier siblings return to their farm and avoid town for awhile but their nearest neighbor comes to tell them that cows are suddenly dying.
All of the Fier cows are still quite healthy but the neighbor becomes a little edgy when he finds Leah playing with a wolf before he leaves despite Luke's assurance that she has taken care of him since he was a cub.
When they must use their last five dollars for food, the Fier children go into town and head to the general store where the owner has always treated them kindly. His demeanor changes when a green snake makes its way into his store and Leah is able to have the snake wrap around her shoulders and closes the store for the day.
Later that evening, townspeople make a ride out to the farm and kill one of the healthy cows and leave the bovine head with a note. It says that if Luke gives Leah over to them they will leave Luke and Corey alone because now they are sure that Leah is making the cows...sick?
Luke believes the town are only trying to scare them but the following night, the same group come to burn down the farm. They set the house ablaze with lanterns and admit to killing the leftover livestock of horses, cows and mules. Luke is able to get himself and Leah and Corey out and away from the blaze into the woods.
Leah's wolf brings them rabbits for food but soon, Luke knows that his siblings will need food so he decides to have them join an orphan train that someone suggested nastily that he do to his siblings but he will join them. Leah is not pleased with this idea but does so for Corey so that her little brother can start talking again...laughing again.
They board the train heading west and climb into a boxcar containing young children and teens about Luke's age, strong young men to help work on farms. One of them named Mike and his three brothers are bullies who pick on the younger children and decide to give Luke trouble when they can't get Corey to speak up.
They kick Luke, grab Leah and threaten to throw Corey off the train but the open door has let bees into the boxcar where they sting the boys enough for Luke to reach his brother. The matron in charge of watching the children comes in to find out what is going on but conflicting stories have the stern woman turning to the nearest child involved to get an answer...Corey.
Since the little boy has now been traumatized some more, Corey refuses to talk and it makes the woman even more angry until a bee stings her lip and she goes to have it treated. Luke has now made enemies out of Mike and his brothers but has won the admiration of a young woman named Mary so glass half full...half-empty.
Luke gets advice from Mary as to how all of this works so that he might be able to get himself and his siblings adopted. At the next stop, it is clear that most couples want a cute little boy like Corey but most are turned off by the fact that he doesn't talk and Leah doesn't help either with her sullen attitude. Luke notices Mike talking with a woman but then witnesses as a collie rushes through the crowd and attacks Mike!
The dog doesn't kill Mike but takes out a pretty good chunk of his cheek before his brothers and the dog's owner get the animal torn off of him. Luke notices out of the corner of his eye that Leah is smiling at the older boy being maimed and scarred for life...
More incidents occur...more death and Luke is now convinced that Leah has been using her gift to communicate with animals far longer than he could imagine. Will the only choice be for Luke to have Leah locked away in an asylum far from any animals or will he have to kill his own sister to give himself and his little brother a better life?
The last five chapters deliver the climax, the twist and the ending to the "eh" that I mentioned earlier. The one good thing about Children of Fear is that it brings A caliber game to the deaths involving the animals to give a person new phobias or amplify existing hatred of certain things that creep and crawl...

Well other then the fact Leah is the original Parsel-tongue (figures it's a Fier/Fear right?) this was surprising. having not read this years ago it was all new to me. Stine does seem obsessed with weird sibling dynamics (in a set of 3 at least one is crazy, one mistakes the innocent sibling as the crazy one and one will either die or almost die. Every time.).

So as one of the Fear Street Saga books, this was historical in nature (Western PA 1876) and of course focused on some of the Fier kin.
Don't bother trying to figure out what branch this family is from, you'll just lose your mind. That family was huge.
We have Luke Fier, oldest brother and rather slow on the uptake. Leah Fier, only girl and a bit of a brat and Corey Fier, youngest and silent and sparkling cute.
Guess who's the problem kid.
This was a quick read and had a decently high body count in interesting ways. Snakes figured high, but we also had crows, bees, horses, hogs, a dog...
Some of the logic doesn't follow, but I'll give a pass since these kids were traumatized and the one telling the story has blood loss and very close to death. That'll muddy any story.
But its quickly paced, and short. As a Fier family tome its a bit lacking since the ending is essentially "and they ran off so those left behind waited", and I don't remember a Fier family ability of talking to animals. Though Leah brings up the curse on the family (probably referencing the Goodes' curse) and the family's super unlucky history with house fires.
Why this was told to the young daughter and not to the oldest son is better left not considering for sanity's sake.
Anyhow a solid middle ground Fesr Street novel.

Remember, little kids, when evil, are scary as hell.
And don't ever piss them off!
These books are always quick, and simple. You can't really judge the characters or storyline to much because it isn't meant to be AMAZING. It's just purely entertaining. If I were younger it could be fantastic, but to me it's just a filler between thicker books.
It was sad how they lost their parents, and just gave up their farm. I really was convinced that and those were some gruesome attacks!
Was there really an Orphan Train back in the day? That would definitely make for some interesting books.
Poor Mary, got herself in the wrong place at the right time. She seemed sweet although the relationship between her and Luke was super fake.
Sometimes its hard to read the dialogue in these books without rolling your eyes.
I can't believe that ending, it was to simple with the person behind the attacks just Also the fact that

I really like the way the author R.L. Stine writes it's so descriptive which is exactly how I like to write. I enjoy the darkness and the surprising twist.
December 15, 2018
The Fear Street Sagas are proving to be most disappointing. RL Stine not writing these is truly making these suffers. You can see where his ideas started and where the ghost writer killed it. Luke Fier is trying to keep the family farm afloat once his parents are killed in a carriage accident. But his sister Leah is seen talking to animals and wins a horse race because of it. His brother Corey hasn't spoken a word since their parents demise. And the villagers hate them for these quirks. Forced to board the Orphan Train, the Fiers are still faced with bullies and unnatural animal attacks. Luke is convinced Leah is evil and once a family takes them in, has her hauled to an asylum...upon which she is released when she explains to the doctor she has a gift with animals. Right. Cause "I have a gift with animals, I talk to them and they understand" is grounds for release from the asylum.
There was so much that was never explained, like why Leah was happy and excited when everyone died because...spoiler, of course she's not actually the evil sibling. This was an annoying book. Strong dislike.

April 5, 2021Just kind of combing through the recommendations based on stuff I've read, and I found the first one of the Fear Street Sagas among them. Haven't read that, but I do remember this one! I loved the historical setting and wish I had read the rest of the series back when I had read this one. I wonder how much of the more modern Fear Street, if read today, is going to come off as horribly outdated. HAHA

This is a story about sibilings.
Okay, the end was unexpected. Although i got the feel it wasn't Leah. Something was way off towards the end. That still didnt explain her actions - like how she would smile when those were murdered. It is quite disturbing. Like both leah and corey have bipolar in such young age.
The snakes really creep me off. Urrgh!

Have you ever wanted the ability to talk to animals?
Usually this would mean knowing when they are hurt or ill.
This being a Fear Street Saga book, we are back with the Fear Family and their evil. This time the evil does not rely on magic. This time evil is getting animals to kill
This time the cruelty is deadly
This time no saving
And
The twist at the end of the book is great.

It was promising at the beginning. Very promising with the prologue.
The middle was ok, ok.
But the ending, it was really really poorly ended. Anticlimactic.
Stine could've done a lott better than this, it had shown so much potential.

Ghost written by Brandon Alexander. Children of Fear and Forbidden Secrets were two of my favorite Fear Street Sagas, both were written by Brandon Alexander. I really wish they had been able to write more under their own name.

Luke suspects that his sister is using special powers to control animals in evil ways, but his suspicions are a little off-base. While it wasn't a surprising twist, it was an overall interesting story with the time spent on the orphan train.
October 25, 2017
While the period setting of the novella does little to impact the overall plot of the novel, the story, overall was pretty good. I'd recommend it for fans of the Fear Street books.
July 22, 2019
This reading was good from the beginning to end. It had such a twisted ending as usual coming from r.l. Stine. I actually loved this one! I would reread again!
December 31, 2020
OMG this one was AMAZING! Still geeking out about the twists and turns.
I don’t see a storyline in this saga, which is kind of a bummer. I want to see what happens next to Luke and Leah.

I did not guess the real culprit until the last few chapters. Excellent! I'm very glad that I decided to purchase this book.

After reading a couple of bum ‘Fear Street’ books, this one was actually really great. I swear these three siblings had the worst luck in the history of the world. It was like tragedy after tragedy and I felt so bad for them. The parts with the townspeople made me so angry. I couldn’t believe it when things escalated to the point where . The entire situation was super messed up and I was in a rage from how unfair it was.
The speaking to animals aspect of the story could have been cheesy, but I liked it a lot. It was pretty creepy how these series of ‘accidents’ kept popping up against the people that weren’t nice to the Fear children. I sat there in suspense for the majority of the book, wondering what was going to happen next. When they showed up at the farm of the kind elderly couple, I was horrified because I knew that things weren’t going to work out like I wanted them to.
There was this twist that I kind of saw coming and kind of didn’t. It made me wonder how events could have played out differently if . The ending itself was good, but I wish that it hadn’t been left so open-ended.

Tiga bersaudara, Luke, Leah dan Corey Fier, kehilangan orang tua mereka karena kecelakaan aneh. Untuk pertama kalinya Ayah mereka tidak bisa mengendalikan kuda yang menarik kereta sehingga dia dan istrinya jatuh ke jurang.
Luke, sebagai anak laki-laki sekaligus anak tertua bertanggung jawab untuk mengurus adik-adiknya. Tidak mudah bagi Luke untuk mengurus tanah pertanian mereka diusia yang masih muda. Apalagi dia tidak mewarisi bakat ayahnya yang terkenal bisa mengendalikan binatang.
Namun, tidak demikian dengan Leah. Tampaknya Leah mewarisi bakat ayah mereka. Dan tampaknya dia menggunakan bakatnya untuk memenangkan lomba balapan kuda dan berusaha membuat kuda peserta lain bertingkah liar.
Seakan itu belum cukup. Tampaknya orang-orang yang membuat Leah jengkel mulai mati secara mengerikan akibat binatang. Bisakah Luke menyadarkannya adikya? Atau dia hanyalah dianggap orang menjengkelkan lain yang akan menjadi korban berikutnya.

Children of Fear is another one from the Fear Street Sagas series. It follows orphaned siblings: Luke, Leah & Corey Fier as they venture on the orphan train after being ran out of town. Desperate to find a new home & families, Luke hopes his skills as a farmer and Leah's gift with animals will get them adopted and get Corey to start speaking again. But as their journey extends, Luke notices how every individual who treated them horribly die by animal attacks. Perhaps there's more to Leah's gifts than she let's on.
Another one in my Fear Street collection that I haven't read in a long time. It holds up well in its suspense and very pioneer tone in its setting. It had the usual Fear Street tropes and cliches as well, but the story is relatively solid. The only exception being how Leah comes off as an annoying younger sister. Despite the slightly rushed ending, I enjoyed Children of Fear as much as the first time reading it.

I really thought this series was one of the best ones he had written. I loved all the stories and the characters. The plot line of every story never wavered and was always entertaining. These are the kinds of books I would want my kids to read some day because I remember reading them and liking them so much. They are quick and easy to read and they help fuel your imagination. Love them!

I always loved the Fear Street books, and to find one with a character that had the same name as me was hard to pass up. The story is wonderful and filled with chills and thrills, a great ride to try and figure out what is really going on.

I read this book while in middle school. I was a HUGE R.L. Stine fan and like most of his other books, especially the Fear Street Sagas, I couldn't put it down.
