This is by far my favorite Goosebumps book and one of my fav books of all time... It has a great story and creates a creepy and mysterious atmosphere.

So Tommy Frazer is the new kid at Bell Valley Middle School. He hates his new town and stepmom. The school okay, but he hasn't made really any friends because all the cliques have their friends and stuff. So he joins the dance decorations comittee to make some new friends. He makes two friends a practical joker named Ben and Thalia a delicate beauty who obesesses over her make-up 24/7. On his one of the days on dance comittee while making banners Ben forgot to get red paint so Tommy volunteers to get it. Hoping to impress Thalia and not a make a fool of himself. Unfortenately for him, he hardly knows the maze of a school and get's completely lost. He soon finds himself at a boarded up doorway. He sees a door and opens it thinks he's seeing real people. But turns on a pale light and find that they are just statues. Odd look statues from the class of '47. He is caught by the principle and led to the art room and Ben makes a fool of him for losing his way.

This is a great book, though it is easy reading and is directed at younger to middle school kids, olde kids(lik me!)and adults can enjoy it too!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites from Goosebumps!, June 29, 2001

This review is from: The Haunted School (Goosebumps, No. 59) (Paperback)

I think 'The Haunted School' is a really good book. It's not all that scary, but it's pretty great and keeps your interest. This one is about Tommy Frazer. His dad just got remarried; now he's got a new mom, and they moved to a new town so he's also got a new home and school. He winds up at Bell Middle School, which at first seems to be a normal school. He meets two kids, and wants desperately to impress them so maybe he can become friends with them. Then, when he signs up for the school's dance commitee, he starts to hear strange noises - like kids calling for help - as he gets some cans of paint. Then, weirder things start happening when he and the boy he made friends with find a room after getting into an elevator that goes sideways instead of up and down, with statutes of kids from the first class of Bell Middle School. They even enter an all gray world where everything - and everyone - are gray! Are all the gray children ghosts? Well, there's only one way to find out...! Read this book!

This review is from: The Haunted School (Goosebumps, No. 59) (Paperback)

I think this is one of the better Goosebumps books. I've read all but 6 of them, and this one is defintly not like the others. It's more mysterious and mind-teasing than the others. It is by far not as realistic as some of the others, but it is still good and worth a read, especially if you've read most of the Goosebumps. Well, I don't want to spoil the book for you, so that's all I can say without telling you any of the story.
