2.5 STARS!!

I listened to this one on audio while I read the book as well and I really enjoyed the audio book until about page 94 and then shit went downhill and it got so damn confusing. So I liked the first 94 pages but after that it got bad for me. I'm thinking you might have to read these Horrorland books in order and nowhere does it specify that. Scholastic fix yo shit. The audio book was fun that's why I'm giving this a 2.5. There was spooky scores played throughout the book and sound effects, I really liked that. :)

Una cosa rara, con una parte inicial independiente y una aventura dentro de Horrorland que se queda en un cliffhanger. Curioso, ideal para niños de 10 años.

This is the final one I got from a $10 audible reward for the beta. The narration was good again, these are just so short that it’s weird to have such a quick audio version. 

Jilly and Jackson realize that they have developed powers. They think they got them from a fortune teller booth that zapped them, but all the card said was ‘Welcome to HorrorLand’. This was kind of a la Tom Hank’s Big but instead of waking up older, they could read minds and move objects. 

Powers aren’t all fun and games and sadly, there are people after them. Not just to stop them, but to take their powers once and for all. 

This was fast and fun, and kind of made me think of the movie Chronicle, but for middle grade. Personally a 3/5*.
