Deep Trouble by R.L. Stine
3.0
This book felt very different to the previous Goosebumps books - it had no "horror" elements and no supernatural creepiness - it was straight up fantasy adventure.
It also avoided a lot of the issues that some Goosebumps books face - there are very few obvious fake-outs, there is no repetition of characters doing the same thing over and over again and expecting things to be different.
But saying that, I found it only fine. It was a decent straight-through read, but the fantasy setting just didn't draw me in the same way the peril and creepiness (however mild) does in other Goosebumps books.
