The 12 Screams of Christmas is a pretty creepy book.  It’s full of ghosts, screams, and festivities.  What more could you expect from a Christmas book by RL Stine?  Nothing but the best!  I really liked the song, and I sang it along in my head while I read. 😂 I enjoyed the three timelines that kind of came together in the end to wrap up the story like a Christmas present.  It’s a pretty quick read, so you could probably read it in one sitting on Christmas.  A perfect scare for the holiday season!  I loved Goosebumps as a kid, and that hasn’t changed one bit.  So, if you’re a fan of Goosebumps, or you’re looking for a spooky middle grade read for the holidays, I suggest you pick this one up!
