Fright Night Flight by Henry Cole, Laura Krauss Melmed

3.0

---

My son just read this book and gives it a "3". He read it with gusto, emphasizing each "Boooooo" but overall found it a bit boring and not at all "hilarious" unlike Dragon's Halloween by Dav Pilkey which had us both smiling from beginning to end. The repetitiveness of the repeated rhyming patterns was dull for an 8 year old and the creatures too spooky for my younger daughter who is not into ghoulies at all. The "mad doctor" brought back some memories of lost hours I'd like to recover while watching Stephen King's "Kingdom Hospital" but other than that I found it pretty blah as well. I'm glad I bought the cheapie Scholastic version.
