It's Maggie O'Conner's thirteenth birthday, and she and her three best friends, triplets Jackie, Jilly, and Judy Mullen, are celebrating by going to a carnival. The triplets think it will be fun if everyone gets their fortunes told, and shy Maggie reluctantly agrees. But while her friends get ordinary enough futures predicted by the fortuneteller, what Maggie is told is anything but ordinary. The fortuneteller tells Maggie that she has evil powers. And it soon becomes clear to Maggie that something is very wrong indeed. Bad things are happening to everyone around her, and soon even the triplets have turned on her. The only one still on Maggie's side is Glen, a boy she has always had a secret crush on. Glen claims he can help Maggie. But is she right to trust Glen - and what are the origins of her terrible powers? Can she get rid of the powers, or will she have to learn to live with them? And why does Glen believe her when no one else does? Read to find out. If you're an R. L. Stine fan like I am, I can guarantee that you won't be dissapointed by this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Maggie is turning evil..., April 10, 2001

This review is from: My Name is Evil (The Nightmare Room #3) (Paperback)

Fans of R.L. Stine's popular Goosebumps series -- probably older now -- will like his brand new NIGHTMARE ROOM series, still sticking with the familiar scares (and laughs) type of style. Though I think his 'scares' are quite funny, this book reflects the writing of the Goosebumps series on perhaps just a notch above the old level. My Name Is Evil is the third installment in this series. Maggie was just an ordinary girl trying to have fun on her thirteenth birthday with her friends. She never really thought she had any evil or darkness in her heart. But that was until she met Miss Elizabeth, the Fortune Teller at the local carnival. From then on, her evil began to get worse, though she can't stop it. The friends she always had are turning against her because of her strange evil powers. Maggie doesn't know what's happening to her, or why she suddenly has evil powers on her thirteenth birthday. Nothing will prepare her for the big surprise in store for her. Before anything else happens, Maggie must do something to stop her evil -- before her world falls apart in front of her eyes.
