This one has one of the best endings in Goosebumps history. :)

So good,  especially for a kids book! I think if I were a kid  , I would be a 5 star rating :)


i think it would've been cool if they added a part where she talks to her old friends.  Also, it wasn't clear to me why her famil  dissappeared.

This will most likely be my favorite Goosebumps book. The twist is rather obvious upon rereading. But the book is great. It’s a bit cliched now – but it’s a cliché I enjoy reading and writing about. I totally recommend this book.

Rating: 4.5

No Goosebumps will reach 5 stars. 5 stars is reserved for an absolute wow, I'll never stop talking about, kinda book. So, consider my 4.5 rated Goosebumps as 5 star for the middle grade horror/Goosebumps genre.

R.L. Stine's writing has noticeably improved the further along we go into Goosebumps, which I'm thankful for. Note: For middle grade easy to read writing.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, but I can't really say too much about it without giving anything away. I will say that, unlike the tried and true formula of hitting us with a twist right at the end, this one hits us with the twist early on and then continues on with the story. It was very obvious what the twist was going to be, but I didn't hate it for that. It made me excited to see it happen when it did.

Nothing completely unexpected, of course, but quite enjoyable. :-D
