"It's a cute little book. Stine is good, came up with some creative 13s, I took off a star due to the ending. I don't want to spoil it so I'll just say seeing monsters noone else sees just takes the fun away. Other than that it's a nice little book snack before you jump into a bigger buffet of books"
