I loved these books as a kid. I was more of an Animorphs fan than a Goosebumps fan (there was a clear divide at the schools I went to which one you were- sort of a Beatles vs Elvis type thing), but I really got into these books.

This is one I owned as a child (though this copy belongs to my partner, who also had as a kid). I remember always bookmarking or dogtagging the pages where you could make a choice, and then quickly reading ahead to see if one decision would lead you to an early finish. This book wasn't my favourite, but it wasn't my least favourite, either.

A fun book, and a type that I miss as an adult.

Damn, practically every ending R.L is tryna kill me off or call me a nerd. Written very lighthearted and simply, but
being turned into a gingerbread person and sold off in a bakery is a horrifying very terrible way to die, right up there with being squashed to death and being consumed in human form
when thought is put into the situations the book kind of lives up to its name, thinking about these situations realistically is a sure way to give yourself Goosebumps. (HAHAHA I'm sorry I couldn't control myself HAHAH)
