I thought Calling All Creeps! was a great book. I first read it in first grade. I had a lunchbox with the cover on it. It looked cool, so I looked for the book. I found it and read it. It was cool. Its about a kid who gets kicked off the school paper. He writes an add in the paper that says Callin All Creeps! Calling All Creeps! If your a real creep call Tasha at 555-6709 after midnight. His plan backfires and he gaets the calls. Calls from creeps who want to turn everybody into creeps.

As Ricky tries to get back at Tasha for Kicking him off the newspaper team, he puts a message in the newspaer "IF YOU ARE A CREEP, CALL TASHA". But the plan backfires and he gets the calls...calls from lizards...

Bought this for my Granddaughter. It looks in real nice shape. She loves these books.
Good service on this book. got here in a timely manner.

Ricky gets kicked off the school paper and decides to play a trick on the editor. He puts in a message in the paper saying "If you're a creep, call Trisha after midnight". But his message is changed to "call Ricky". Now kids are calling Ricky. And it turns out they're real creeps.

Great action filled story with a fun ending.

These books are helping my grandson learn the enjoyment of reading. He was having a hard time, but these books hold his attention and he really looks forward to getting a new one in the series.

ISBN 0590568876 - This isn't Stine's best of the Goosebumps series, but it is a nice, quick read and is somewhat amusing. I wouldn't put it high on my list of recommendations, but Stine's hardcore fans will enjoy it.

Ricky Beamer needs his activity hours to graduate sixth grade so when his efforts at the school paper are sabotaged and Tasha, the editor, kicks him off the paper, he's furious. He's been picked on for a long time and this is the final straw. To get his revenge, he sneaks into the school and places a secret message in the paper. It says "Calling all creeps! Call Tasha after midnight!" when he leaves - and when it gets published, it says "Call RICKY" instead!

When the creeps start calling, Ricky's sure who's on the other end - his four enemies, Brenda, Jared, David and Wart. And he's right. What he doesn't know is that he thinks they're creeps, when they're really Creeps - lizard creatures intent on taking over the school - and they think Ricky is their Commander!

As often happens in Stine's books, the ending just doesn't come off right. Throughout the story, Ricky's got one friend, Iris, who seems to disappear at the end, without explanation. Not that most kids will notice that - and the book IS aimed at kids. Still, Stine's done better.

Why did ricky try to play that joke on Tasha? Now the joke's on him-The creeps are crank calling him. and these Creeps are icky lizards. we find out later that Brenda, wart, David are the creeps. They were the ones who planted The Identity seeds. Ricky was forced to place the Identity seeds in the Tuna Surprise. Luckily, nobody eats tuna Surprise. The Creeps plan had failed. Wrong, the Creeps had more and they were going to put it in the cookies when there was Food or bake sale. What will happen to Tasha? Will Ricky get his revenge?

So far so good. like i said this is the 2nd to the last book. This book has 8 pages of pictures like the others i reviwed like TV Book #9 Go eat worms, TV Book #11 Let's get invisible, TV Book #10 Bad hare Day like that. But i wished The goosebumps presents had more pages. My parents did not have a hard time buying Goosebumps Books.

***So keep in mind- The Goosebumps presents has few pages like 59 pages until 60pages. The Original goosebumps has 112-138 pages [as far as i know]. The short original goosebumps Books are for 9-10 years old. The Long Original Goosebumps books are for 11-12 years old. Goosebumps books are still allowed until age 16 [as far as i know]***

Reader Beware- Your i for a scare. Read if you dare!

Happy reading Goosebumps Fans =)

To me ,this book was okay .I think it was'nt scary at all !The other Goosebumps were okay exept for this one .I think this was'nt such a good book 'cause people know that lizards as big as us don't exist !

This book started out okay at first but then I got to the part about all the magic seeds and stuff, how lame can this get?????I think this is a poor excuse of a book.

Calling All Creeps is a story of a furious boy who is kicked off of the school newspaper because of spilling water on Tasha's computer keyboard so she kicked Ricky off of the paper and 2 days later he got back on but she kicked him off again.
