Quinn manages to befriend Cole and his group of friends, including Queen Bee Janet, the ponytail-wearing Ronnie, and her boyfriend Matt, after an incident during her first day in class.

As a result, the town is at odds with itself and strict lines are drawn between the largely conservative adults and the teens, who are more interested in having fun and getting views on their YouTube channel. Kettle Springs has suffered financially since the closing of the Baypen Corn Syrup Factory and its subsequent burning due to arson by a local boy named Cole Hill. Her father, Glenn, has been hired as the new town physician in the hopes that this will allow the two of them to heal. The novel centers upon Quinn Maybrook, a teenage girl who is a senior in high school, has recently moved to the small factory town of Kettle Springs, Missouri from Philadelphia after the tragic death of her mother, Samantha. įilm rights for the novel have been optioned by Temple Hill Entertainment. I adored the new characters we meet in Frendo Lives as well! Jerri in particular was one of the best parts of this book in my opinion! Overall, despite the few criticisms I have, I thought this sequel was fun and very politically aware.Clown in a Cornfield is a 2020 horror novel by American author Adam Cesare and marks his first novel in the young adult genre. The ending was also rushed and predictable, although it was still enjoyable! I felt like some of the decisions made by certain characters didn't feel authentic to those characters. I also wasn't a fan of the character development throughout the story. This isn't a terrible thing, but I definitely missed that in this story. This time around, it seems like Adam Cesare took a more serious, realistic approach. I feel like the original story had more of a sense of humor about the dramatized gore - it knew exactly the kind of book it was. I definitely have a few criticisms however! The horror and slasher qualities of the first story didn't really exists in this sequel. The new Frendos and their reasons to commit such murderous carnage was unique and creative! Fast paced and a wild ride, I really enjoyed the changes that took place in this story compared to the first book. This was a pretty successful sequel! I loved catching up with our cast of heroes - Quinn, Rust, Cole, and Quinn's father. As is customary to most horror sequels, an anniversary is an invitation for all hell to break loose! Frendo lives - and a lot of people die.

It is the one year anniversary of the Kettle Springs' Massacre and Quinn is finally adjusting to her new life as a trauma survivor.
