My son loves Goosebumps. Getting him to read anything was very difficult. He enjoyed Grafield comics, so I bought every Garfield book I could find. This worked, but he is now 12 years old and needed something older... I stumbled upon a Goosebumps book at a booksale. I bought only one and brought it home hoping he would be interested. HE FELL IN LOVE with this book and ASKED...ASKED for more. Thanks to PBS, I've been able to request several. It is such a bursting heart experience to find a light sneaking out under his closed door. I open the door quietly and find him holding a flashlight and reading his latest Goosebumps book. I've not read any of these books, but I believe my first purchase MADE HIM A LIFETIME READER. I don't mean just the Goosebumps series. I fully expect this has opened a whole new world for him. I think he now sees there is more to life then JUST GARFIELD.

Great book to read with your children ages 8-12. They may be able to read on thier own, but this book is just to much fun not to share!
