Do we need another review?, January 29, 2004
Well, no, but I wanted to write one, so here it is.!
I think that Goosebumps are great books for kids or the young at heart. They are extremely easy to read, but most of them have intriguing stories, some horrific moments, and relatable characters.
Attack of the Jack-o'-Lanterns is not my favorite Goosebumps story, but it is still clever and one for the underdog in you.
The story is about Drew, a twelve year old girl whom is fed-up with her long-time rivals Lee and Tabby, a pair of stuck-up buddies who get a kick out of tormenting and teasing Drew and her friends Walker, Shane, and Shawna. Shane and Shawna are twin brother/sister. Shane and Shawna were gone for a while, but now have come back just in time to help Drew.
Tabby and Lee have a history of pulling Halloween pranks on Drew and her friends, and this year Drew believes she has a sure-fire plan to get her revenge. That is until there have been many accounts of missing people. Which threatens her chances of trick-or-treating. But Drew wont give up and is determined to have her plans followed through.
Overall "Attack of the Jack-o'-Lantern" is a story that tells the tell of a tormented kid that rings true because, hey, it happens. Well I mean the getting teased part anyways. This is a fun revenge fantasy that involves some interesting twists. We've all been twick-or-treating(well most of us). And this is the tale of a trick-or-treating trip from hell as well.
So if you like Goosebumps, Halloween stories, or are looking for a fun and easy read, try "Attack of the Jack-o'-Lanterns". Its worth 2hrs of your time. :D

The best as usual, July 31, 2000
A Kid's Review
This book was great. R.l Stine really knows what we expect but gives us the exact oppossite! I was expecting the jack o lanterns to really be monsters! Again R.L Stine put us on a cliff hanger not knowing what would happen! It takes a lot of thinking after fifnishing the book to relate the missing people to what Shane and Shana had said!

The best book for Halloween, November 7, 2001
A Kid's Review
After one ruined Halloween, which was Drew and Walker's favorite holiday, they decided to get revenge against Tabby and Lee, but after a whole year of planning a spooky Halloween party with their friends Shane and Shana, their plans of revenge are shattered as they find out that Lee and Tabby decide not to come at the last second. On the third year of Halloween, their last year of trick-o-treating as a non-teenager, they decide to cook up a spooky plan. Shane and Shana were to be trick-o-treaters with jack-o-lantern heads and frighten Tabby and Lee; the plan then backfires on Drew and Walker. They, who were also going trick-o-treating with Lee and Tabby, were forced to trick-o-treat all night until they couldn't take it anymore. Shane and Shana with their spooky, real looking pumpkin heads and their brother and sister jack-o-lanterns stuffed pumpkins on Tabby and Lee's heads, which caused them to run away. Finally, the four friends got back at Tabby and Lee.
