4.0 out of 5 stars A GHOSTLY OFFERING FROM R.L. STINE, February 24, 2005

This review is from: Ghost Beach (Goosebumps Series) (Paperback)

Goosebumps from R.L. Stine continues to offer chilling and fun books for the pre-teen crowd. Perhaps not as popular as they were several years ago, these are still enjoyable reads...not too scary for elementary school kids with a target audience of age 6 - 11 I would say.

In Ghost Beach, Jerry and his sister Terri go to visit their aunt and uncle who live near a cemetary as well as a beach that has a scary cave and is the subject of local legends. Jerry and Terri are told by local kids that the cave is haunted but of course they decide they need to check it out for themselves and journey off to explore the dark and forbidding cave. A flickering light entices the kids in and soon they wish they would have heeded the warnings.

Like all Goosebumps book this is a light, quick read. Perfect for younger kids to read themselves in a few days or for parents to read along with other children. Just scary enough to give them some chills but not too scary to cause nightmares. Very enjoyable!

5.0 out of 5 stars Goosebumps, October 7, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ghost Beach (Goosebumps Series) (Paperback)

The Goosebumps series are books that are thrilling, they are about monsters and skeletons. The novels are great for kids in elementary school. This book should not be banned because it is a great for kids to read and that are fun to read too. I don't know why anyone would want to ban these books by R.L. Stine. In one of the books a girl finds a mask and put and on, but when she tries to take it off it doesn't come off. These novels are not bad to read so they shouldn't be banned.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Ghost Beach (Goosebumps Series) (Paperback)

Goosebumps are not bad books. They are not really even scary. All the books do is provide entertainment and enjoyment in book form. The goosebumps are short and not challenging but they good. The books probably shouldn't be read by 7th and 8th graders but it still shouldn't be banned for everyone else.
