A group of teens (Belinda, Hildy, and her drunk boyfriend Frank) are coming home from an April Fools’ Day party. Hildy is driving but drunken Frank keeps grabbing the wheel. He starts banging into another car when the car tries to pass them. Then the car vanishes over the cliff and blows up. Belinda runs down to help, but her friends drag her away, and they leave. Belinda is convinced someone was standing at the top of the hill, watching them. For weeks afterwards Belinda is haunted by the car in flames and a face in the window, crying for help. Belinda tutors in her spare time. She is contacted for a job tutoring a teenage boy (Adam) who was recently in an accident. Could this be someone who was in the car crash and survived? He sometimes hints that he has seen her before. Adam also has a brother (Noel), who seems friendly and is interested in Belinda. As time goes by, Belinda receives warnings and threats…
This was just an okay read, at first. Belinda was alright, but her best friends (Hildy and Frank) were totally annoying and were lousy “friends”. As the book progressed it got better. I liked Adam and Noel’s butler (Cobbs). He was a very interesting character. I was curious to find out who was threatening Belinda, and I enjoyed the revelations at the end of the book.

Really twisty. Refreshing to read "old-style" 80's YA horror by an accomplished author.

A very Rare 5 star rating for me, this was gripping and i couldn't put it down. Terrifically paced, and I felt like there were so many possibilities with regards to the end due to the way every character was given time. Extra impressive considering this was under 200 pages. One of my favourite entries in the series and I would strongly recommend this one!
Belinda and her friends are messing about on the highway when they cause an accident and flee the scene. The following week, she is hired by a wealthy family to homeschool their child who was injured in that car crash. When she starts to receive packages at the house its clear somebody knows what happened, what lengths will they go to get their revenge revenge?

Belinda and her friends are involved in a car accident and, against Belinda's efforts, her friends insist they leave the scene of the crime. Belinda is convinced someone saw what happened that night and the accident comes back to haunt them all.
Richie Tankersley Cusick is a really great writer and this was a great story. It definitely goes a bit further than some other Point Horror books do. The characters were also really good. I loved the butler Cobbs! The mystery and suspense were excellent and I thought the romance was well done too, and a lot of times that's my least favourite aspect. I definitely recommend this one!

I love this book, I could literally read it a thousand times, I recommend it to you my genre is definitely horror and it has a good story

Belinda is filled with guilt after she and her friends cause a terrible accident. Two weeks later she’s asked to tutor a named Adam - whose also been involved in an accident. Surely the two can’t be connected.
Maybe not entirely original, but the suspense really works with this story.
Belinda is so convinced that someone is out to get her is really believable.
The characters are well written and with an engaging plot this is one of the better Point Horror’s.

Everyone is terrible except for Cobbs and the dog

I was remembering how much fun I had last year re-reading some books from my childhood, so I decided to read some more. I 100% remember owning this book, but I remembered 0% of the story. It is ANOTHER book about teenagers being involved in a car accident which they keep secret, but then later, someone who seems to know about the accident seems to be getting revenge.
The protagonist of the story, Belinda, is filled with guilt about the accident she and her friends caused, and can't get past the memory of seeing a person trapped inside a burning car moments before it exploded. Her terrible friend Hildy, and her even more terrible friend Frank constantly berate and make fun of her for still being troubled about the accident two weeks later. (TWO WEEKS!) Come on, Belinda, two weeks is PLENTY of time for a teenager to get over inadvertently murdering someone, watching them get burned alive, and then keeping it secret. Soon, Belinda is asked to tutor a mysterious teenage boy named Adam who was ALSO in an accident two weeks ago and was badly scarred. SO WEIRD! Amateur detective Belinda is convinced that this must be the same accident, but her friends tell her she is being, like, sooooo dramatic. After all, Adam might be totally hot or something, and Belinda really needs a boyfriend! As it turns out, Adam is not hot, but he does have a hot stepbrother named Noel. He and Belinda hit it off, even though she is really poor and he is really rich. He promises to protect her from Adam, who Belinda believes is trying to kill her as revenge for the accident. But Belinda still comes and tries to get through to Adam with her tutoring because she is noble and really feels that she can make a difference, you know? There are a bunch of random snakes in the house, which I thought would be important, (because Chekhov's Gun and all) but they actually are 100% random. OH! And there is also an actual monogrammed handkerchief that is a clue in the mystery. For real! Anyway, stuff happens, there are plot twists and a dramatic confrontation and then that is the end.
I know I am being snarky about this book but that is only because I am reading it as an adult and I am not the intended audience. I can see why I would have liked it in 7th or 8th grade. When you are that age, you don't really know that a monogrammed handkerchief is a cliche or that high school kids really don't spend their days completely free of contact with any authority figures. Of course it would be exciting to imagine a whirlwind romance with a good-looking and kind (he loves his pet dog!) rich guy! I think books like these are cool for kids because it primes you to recognize certain literary tropes and to appreciate when those tropes are inverted. Plus, they are fun! I loved the heck out of books like this when I was a kid, so kudos to the authors for knowing their stuff.

April Fools was among the many Point Horror books I read in the 90s, between the ages of 12 to 16. In those days, when I wasn't buried in a Stephen King novel, nine times out of ten I was reading L.J. Smith, R.L. Stine, Christopher Pike, Caroline B. Cooney, or Richie Tankersley Cusick. Their novels always thrilled and entertained, and yes, there was a healthy dose of jumps and creepies.
Nowadays, I'd recommend the Point Horror books for younger 12- to 15-year-olds, who want to dip their pinkie toe in the horror pool. (These books will likely fall short for anyone who's already dabbled in adult dark fiction or film.) The horror elements are mild, for the most part, the mysteries usually keep you guessing right up 'til the end, but some of the teenager-y behavior may seem a little outdated. Other than that, these are great fun!
Note: My rating is based on what I remember from 20+ years ago and, of course, includes a fair share of sentimentality.

Deze stond al enorm lang op mijn tbr en ik ben blij dat ik hem zo lang heb bewaard. Ik vloog er doorheen en het was een vermakelijk boek om even tussendoor te lezen. Ik moet toegeven dat ik het niet mega spannend vond, maar dat was ook niet nodig. Hopelijk ben ik hierdoor verlost van mijn reading slump!

April Fools marks the third Richie Tankersley Cusick Point Horror book I've now read (following
The Lifeguard
and
Trick or Treat
) and I must admit this is almost my favourite Point Horror book so far.
April Fools has pretty much everything you could want from a Point Horror book - a likeable protagonist, murder, mystery, pranks, handsome love interests, snakes - and then throws in a suspicious butler for good measure. Speaking of suspicious butlers, allow me a moment to remark that Cobbs is such a delightful character to read. Richie Tankersley Cusick excels at writing drily sarcastic characters (see also: Trick or Treat ).
I am typically awful at figuring out these books as I'm reading them, and April Fools is no exception. I think at one point I was pretty much suspicious of everyone, and I found the reveal to be pretty well handled (sometimes with these Point Horror books the big reveal can come so far out of leftfield it practically makes no sense).
There was a moment during April Fools where it almost became my favourite Point Horror book, but sadly the ending didn't pack the bite I was longing for. The writing, for the most part, is solid, but a couple of key moments felt kinda rushed - particularly the climax. I also wasn't a huge fan of how everything wrapped up. Therefore, April Fools comes close to being my fave (so far), but just falls short of Trick or Treat . I must admit I am having an absolute blast revisiting these books.

On April Fools Day a group of friends are driving home after a party. There is a car accident but believing that there were no possible survivors they leave and go home. Two weeks later Belinda is the only one who feels guilty. Soon pranks begin. Could someone know what happened?
This was a fun, quick read. There is a lot of action and something is always happening. There is no filler so we get straight to the story and never leave it. There are many elements that are similar to today's thrillers. We get suspicious characters, odd behavior, the main character doubting herself.
I didn't quite guess who was behind everything or why. It's pretty devious. The story isn't realistic or meant to be taken seriously but it is a very entertaining read.

After being involved in a car accident with her friends Hildy and Frank, an accident that saw the occupants of another car severely injured, Belinda begins to suspect that someone saw what happened. When she is asked to tutor Adam, a boy her age who is recovering from an accident, Belinda fears that it may all be connected.
One of the best Point Horror books written. The plot came back to me as I read it but I still enjoyed rereading it. Plus Cobbs is one of the best characters ever, with his dry wit.

2025 review: 4 stars. Liked this better the second time around. Totally forgot the ending. RTC is a competent writer. Opens with a I Know What You Did Last Summer car crash. Girl hired to be a school tutor for an injured teen boy. Not much tutoring happens.
Tropes:
He’s so scary but he’s so hot
Love triangle
Kinda gothic a smidge
Cobbs is the butler
Buddy read with Mystery Maven and Nostalgia Fever Dream.
2021 review: 3 stars. Cobbs is the best character.

Creepy. Wonderful imagery. I think reading this in October really heightened the suspense.
I have to say that Hildy and Frank were horrid people, to think you could have caused a horrifying wreck, and not even care. Not cool.

This is the second Point Horror I've read by Richie Tankersley Cusick, after The Lifeguard, and I've not enjoyed either of them. The story was so linear and predictable it almost felt like a reread rather than reading it for the fist time.
March 24, 2024
A set up like a cross between I Know What You did Last Summer, and the older slasher, April Fool's Day.
Some idiot teens kill a guy in a drunk driving accident on April Fool's Day, and think they get away with it until next year...
Okay for teens, I guess.

So far, in my journey into point horror, this one has been my favourite. It had all the main tropes and 90s feel, but I think this one actually had a couple of genuinely tense moments throughout.
August 28, 2024
No ha sido una experiencia memorable precisamente. Es una historia parecida a 'Sé lo que hicisteis el último verano', pero sin tensión y sin momentos sangrientos. No me ha gustado ningún personaje, hasta el mayoromo sarcástico se queda corto y no cumple con las expectativas. Además, un libro de esta extensión y de la colección Point Horror, debería tener un ritmo muchísimo más acelerado, pero aquí la trama avanza a la velocidad de un caracol.
ENGLISH
It hasn't exactly been a memorable experience. It is a story similar to 'I Know What You Did Last Summer', but without tension and without bloody moments. I didn't like any of the characters, even the sarcastic butler falls short and doesn't meet expectations. Furthermore, a book of this length and from the Point Horror collection should have a much faster pace, but here the plot moves at the speed of a snail.

Most point horrors hinge on the MC having awful or ridiculously stupid friends. The 'friends' in this were both, as well as callous and selfish. Everyone in this book deserves jail, even the cringing stereotypical English butler. Even the dog for growling at what turned out to be the dead dads will. The main character especially deserves jail, quite literally, for failing to report a man on fire in a crashed vehicle, even if she didn't cause the accident. Also jail for thirsting after his badly injured son who she's suspects is both evil and aware that she ran him off the road causing his injuries. I could not put this book down, a metaphorical and literary car crash! 5 stars.

An enjoyable teen horror that focuses on a car accident that Belinda, Hildy, and Frank were in on April Fool's Day. Except they weren't alone that night. Another car was there. Another car that went off the road and exploded in a ball of fire. Belinda got out of their car and wanted to help, but there was nothing she could so. She thought she saw someone on the road that night. Belinda was worried and starting to get paranoid. Her paranoia was justified when she started being chased, reviving disturbing mail, hearing her name in the middle of the night...
Belinda is recruited by Mrs. Thorne to tutor her stepson, Adam. The Thorne house is a strange one. And it gets stranger every day. Belinda slowly realizes that Adam was in the crash she witnessed on April Fool's Day. Mrs. Thorne was all bruised and Mr. Thorne is in the hospital dying. Could Adam be behind it all? Adam's stepbrother Noel starts to date Belinda and he's determined to get to the bottom of this mystery.

2.5-ish stars, rounded up because when I was in the target audience I'm sure I was much more forgiving.
This is my third stop on my nostalgia trip through the YA "horror" I loved in the late 80s/early 90s, and once again the results are about as expected: April Fools, despite a mostly unlikable cast of characters (exception: the dry-witted and loyal stereotypical servant "Cobbs") is an enjoyable time-waster, with a decent twist and climax, but ultimately it's also a forgettable effort that crumbles under the weight of adult scrutiny. Though my faulty memory always held Tankersley Cusick at the top of the "Point" paperback pack, there's nothing especially good or well-written here; this genre was always fairly derivative and unoriginal across the board, but Richie may as well have titled this one I Know What You Did This Spring, especially since the April Fools/pranks theme is half-baked at best. (As with her Trick or Treat, the promise of the title is never fully realized and seems to have been chosen for catchiness alone.)
Worth a read (or re-read) for someone exploring this era/genre, but there's good reason that of the four RTC novels I'd recalled, this was the one whose plot had completely evaporated from my mind. With a better novel surrounding him, Adam Thorne could've been one of Point's most iconic villains (or IS he?); given his potential and the potential of the April Fool's "holiday," one really suspects that RTC's heart just wasn't in this one. I'm hoping that when I revisit her novels I seem to remember enjoying the most (Teacher's Pet and, especially, The Lifeguard), they hold up better and restore my faith both in her reputation and in my younger self's taste.

I read this with my book club that I run on Instagram where we revisit Point Horror and other books from our childhood - @talespointhorrorbookclub
Tagline - It’s no joke....it’s murder.
Memorable For – Cream in tea, vile Frank and I Know What You Did Last Summer Vibes
Blurb -
It's April Fools' Day. Frank thinks he's king of the fools. So when he and his friends get cut up by a hotshot driver, it's fair game. But things start to go wrong. Someone saw what happened that night, and wants to join in the fun. But April Fools' Day is over and these jokes are for real.
Some Thoughts -
Well it all starts very I Know What You Did Last Summer on a long and winding road on a cliff 100 miles away from home after a party on April Fools day! Frank is drunk, Hildy is driving and Belinda is staring through the steamed up back window through the rain when a car behind them keeps honking and they run the car off the road and don’t call the police!! Flash forward to two weeks later and the gang have decided to make a pact and keep it all a secret. No one will know right?!! But then the creepy packages start to arrive, figures start chasing Belinda through her short cuts and appear at her window and then theres the snakes…Surely someone must know? But who?
Other highlights include snakes, Frank the douchebag, Cobbs ... lovely Cobbs, dodgy pranks and learning that we should be putting cream in our tea to be civilised!

Out of the point horror books, the ones by Richie Tankersley Cusick have by far been the best in my opinion.
The thing about point horrors is they allow your imagination to actually see what's happening as if you were really there. You get sucked in. And me well I'm not big on horrors. But these are friendly. Sometimes I wish I could put the book down but their just too good. Luckily most of them end happily!

This was on my list to read for April Fool's day 2024 (so I did from 31 Mar - 2 Apr).
In my opinion, was better than the other two I read by Ms. Cusick (Trick or Treat and Teacher's Pet). Sometimes I thought I knew who the suspicious characters were, sometimes I was right actually. I didn't expect that plot twist, and at the end it was happy enough.
Hildy and James were REALLY annoying.
