Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Disgusted by his father's collection of tacky lawn decorations, which include pink flamingoes and plastic skunks, Joe Burton is further upset when a pair of ugly gnomes are added and a number of strange incidents begin.

From AudioFile
Audio drama is the ideal medium for spooky fun. "Lights Out," "Suspense," "The Whistler," "Inner Sanctum"--these were among the most popular dramatic programs on '40's radio. The mental exercise that audio gives to the imagination has more positive effects on kids than the mind-numbing boob tube. Perhaps that's why, when Disney rereleased some of its postwar kids albums on cassette a few years ago, they were sold out within weeks of hitting the shelves. In this instance, even merely serviceable performance does wonders for Stine's hack writing. Disney has pumped more energy than creativity into the slickly produced title. It's amiable, briskly paced and safe. Neither parents nor their offspring will find any unpleasant shocks here. When you give it to your kids, tell 'em to shut their eyes and give their minds a listen. Y.R.

A Kid's Review

This book is the best book I,ve ever read.
It gets you thinking whats going to happen next. I read this book in 3 days. I couldn't stop reading it. There was nothing I didn't like about it. Its about a kid named Joe, who's dad loves lawn ortimants. He buys these two gnome figures. Right after he bought them bad things started happing. Something keeps digging up Mr. McCalls garden. Joe's dog is always tied up. So it can't be the dog. At night he hears something in the bushes. He gets up, and looks out the window, And what does he find. Could it be racoons in the bushes or the GNOMES.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best of the series!, June 1, 2005

This review is from: Goosebumps: Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes (Mass Market Paperback)

I have read almost all of the Goosebumps Books, and this one always stands out in the crowd to me. It has a very good storyline and even though it is one of the more "unrealistic", it is one of my personal favorites.
The story is about a dad who likes lawn ornaments and buys two lawn gnomes from a store down the street. When the neighbors garden keeps getting trashed, the pet Rottweiler is blamed. When the havoc continues after the dog has been tied up, the children of the house are blamed. What will they have to do to prove that they are innocent? And who in the world could be doing the mischief? Read and find out! Hope this was helpful!

I Like This Book!
When Joe's father had two lawn gnomes, strange things started to happen. One day, Joe and Mindy heard a disturbing news to their neighbors. Then Joe's Father blamed Mindy and Joe because of what happened next door. Looks like the gnomes are getting their revenge.
