Customer Reviews

The misadventures and terror of Mark & Jodie
I was addicted to these books when I was younger and it wasn't until I was majoring in education in college that I figured out why. They were interesting with bizarre plot twists that most 9-12 year olds don't think about and they were short (usually between 110-130 pages). I could read the whole thing in a day.

My parents also didn't have a lot of heartache with buying me a new book because these are relatively inexpensive (in the neighborhood of 3-5 bucks each).

R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" books aren't scary, just kind of creepy. There aren't graphic descriptions of murder and mayhem. Just some ghosts, werewolves, or potions. The main character is alive in the end, and the final chapter resolves everything.

**Keep in mind, R.L. Stine has other books that aren't in the "Goosebumps" series that tend to be a little harsher when it comes to hauntings and plot. They are written more for the 12-14 age group and are longer (around 150-200 pages).

Don't Miss This Review About Scarecrows!
The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight by R.L. Stine

Jodie can already imagine the stories her grandpa will be telling around the fireplace at night. She can also taste her grandma's chocolate chip pancakes. Guess again! When Jodie and her brother Mark get there, they realize that their grandparents are out-of-shape. Then one night, Jodie sees the twelve new scarecrows trying to get off their stakes! Will people believe her? If you're hoping to be a farmer, read this book.

This book was okay. I chose this book because it looked the really scary. I also picked this book because I like the Goosebumps series.

I think R.L. Stine tried to show how people can cooperate. Or, he wanted to show us how much responsibility you need on a farm.

Dame that waas fake
I think this book was kind of boring.Because everybody knows a scarecrow can not become alive.That is it.
