Description
The third novel in Campbell's Young Adult "Lakeview Series" finds its heroine, Halle Henry, kicking off her senior year with the perfect boyfriend, perfect roommate (his twin sister) and the prospect of getting into the perfect college--all of which become endangered when her boyfriend Alex witnesses a murder and ends up expelled for drugs planted in his backpack. Faced with uncooperative adults, Halle devises her own plan to corner the culprits using all the high-tech electronic equipment and methods at her disposal from full-on Internet, social media and digital tools to ordering spy stuff off Amazon. Halle joins forces with an unlikely ally--Alex's edgy roommate Wyatt--as they set out to bring the real criminals to justice and bring back Alex in time for graduation. But can they keep from getting killed in the process? And almost as important:
Can they find out why the school cafeteria food sucks?
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
While I recommend starting any series with the first book, Scream is masterfully written, easily a stand-alone book that will resonate with readers as they devour the book in one sitting, leaving them craving for more. - San Diego Book Review
Jam-packed with action and suspense, Scream will leave the readers on the edge of their seats! This companion book to the Lakeview Series has the perfect mix of danger and fearless female characters. - Candid CoverMarketing Plan
About the Author
Journalist Marlan Warren caught up with Stacey R. Campbell to talk about the Lakeview series and Scream. At an early age, the Seattle-based author was told by her teachers that she should forget her dream of becoming a writer because she was born with the reading/writing challenge of dyslexia. Now having written four novels (she recently authored the Middle Grade pirate adventure tale, Arrgh!), Campbell has not only proven them wrong but had to pause from polishing her next Lakeview installment—an e-novella entitled Silence due out in early June—to give this interview.

How did you come up with the plot for Scream?
The main idea for Scream came from my own boarding school experience where after a year of
complaining about the school’s food, it was found that the school cook had been skimming from
the school’s food budget to supplement his cocaine addiction.
What is your favorite reader reaction to the series so far?
I can totally see your books as movies!” is always fun to hear, but my favorite reactions are from readers and other writers who have a learning disability telling me I have inspired them. If I can get that one kid, like me, who struggled to open a book and enjoy reading, I feel like I’m on top of the world.
I understand there's a kind of fan club for Lakeview?
I am lucky enough to have a great group of reviewers and bloggers who love what I write. I call them my “Lakeview Street Team.” They are the first to get free ARC copies of new work and help me spread the word of what’s going on. The group is open to anyone who writes reviews. If you like what you see and want to help spread the word, stop by my website and leave me a message.
What would you tell any young girls out there who might be wanting to write books?
Don’t listen to the negative. People love to criticize. If writing is in your heart, write. Not for fame or money, but because it is part of who you are.

What a refreshing book, it is rare to read a YA book where there isn't at least one character that you want to shake! I love the determination of Halle, and her belief that she could get Alex back in school. The story was very believable and the actions of the main characters seemed realistic, although as a mother I would be more grey than I am now if my child was like Halle. This book should be on your summer reading list, so thankful to have the ARC to read.
