Back
to our Ghost Stories theme for the week...
Author
R.L. Stine has two fabulously scary series that you may want to check out this
summer: Mostly Ghostly and Goosebumps Horrorland
Mostly Ghostly
"This series revolves around Max, an 11 year old boy who ends up meeting two
ghosts named Nicky and Tara who are trying to find their parents. The
ghosts make Max a deal: If he can help them find out how they died and
what happened to their parents, they'll help make his life better. But
they usually end up ruining things. Nevertheless, Max still tries to
help them solve the mystery, and the three encounter various villains
and somewhat silly adventures. He then runs into Farina, and they both
then save the day using their supernatural "Ghost Ring" Powers. First
he's in a talent show for school to be a magician."
Universal Studies actually made book one of this series, Who Let the Ghosts Out, into a movie by the same name in 2008!
Goosebumps Horrorland
"This newest Goosebumps series will be an immerse storytelling
experience welcoming fans to HorrorLand, a
vast theme park run by monsters, creatures called Horrors,
and which R.L. Stine describes as "the scariest place on Earth." In a
Goosebumps first, the new series is a serialized adventure, and the story won't
end on the final page of book #1. Adventures will continue on the Internet and
in books #2-12, each of which can also stand alone. The first ten HorrorLand
books all will feature a combination of frightful new faces as well as the
vilest villains from the original Goosebumps series. Ordinary kids are being
summoned to HorrorLand - but why? Readers are in for the ride of their lives as
the cast of characters trapped in the theme park grows larger with each book,
and their situations become more and more perilous.”
