During his younger sister's birthday egg hunt, Dana finds a strange green, veiny egg in his backyard. He takes it back to his room, where out hatches a strange scrambled egg blob with eyes. He takes it to a nearby science lab to find out what sort of creature it might be, and gets caught in a nightmare.
This was a fairly enjoyable, fast-paced story. Once Dana reaches the science lab, it turns into a held-prisoner-by-a-mad-scientist story, and it was done well, with some genuine suspense over how Dana might get himself out of this situation. Unfortunately, the ending really lets it down, leaving several unanswered questions, and the usual final twist is very silly and makes little sense.

So a kid goes missing while saying he's going to a specific lab and the parents don't verify all the rooms? Not in this day and age!

I was hoping for a bit more from this one.

Divertido y rápido de leer. Sigue la fórmula Stine de "terror" para niños y jóvenes. Mi mayor queja es el cambio del nombre del protagonista (de Dana a Daniel) que se termina olvidando a lo largo de la historia, volviendo al original (en la edición de Norma para Colombia)

This is one of the better goosebump books IMO. I know it’s maybe not a typical one but I quite enjoyed it and I couldn’t work out what the ‘twist’ at the end would be but it made me chuckle.

I read this series as a kid, and was thrilled to find used copies around. Never read this one before, though.
I think it was way better in my childhood, but maybe other issues will be better.
