I swear with every Goosebumps book while it’s easy to fly through I’m just feeling okay about the plot. Then the end just goes absolutely crazy. I will say that I saw the first twist coming. Then the second twist was so insane and I hate and love it.
mysterious tense medium-paced

The worst summer camp in the universe pits a boy against nature, the camp councilors, and worse!

Nicely written, very solid, fun twists!

Recommended.

This is NOT my favorite R.L. Stine. Not bad, but not my favorite as this one is more sci-fi and less horror. I was really intrigued throughout the book, but didn’t care for the conclusion. If you are looking for old school Gossebumps nostalgia - this is not it. Or if this is a first R.L. Stine book for a child - I could recommend a million others to start with before this one.

This was a good one! I actually liked the twist ending and thought it was very funny and perfect for a Goosebumps book. My only question is why do so many kids in these books get major concussions and it’s no big deal?? Very 90s, haha

What was this ending??

I just wanted a fun spooky camping read. What the hell was this? I'd rather send my kids to Jellyjam.
