I loved this! Banyak gila problems yang tak dapat aku fikir solutionnya kalau aku kat tempat Tommy. But I actually hate Tommy. He tried to hard to impress others since he's a new kid on the block. I think he should learn how to keep cool.

Sinopsis:
Tommy just moved into a new town and school with a new mother. He thought by participating in the decoration team for the school dance would help him to mingle. Ben and Thalia joined him. Ben loved telling jokes and Thalia suka gila dengan make-up. She...more

Another Goosebumps installment, The Haunted School is probably one of my favorites in the series so far. But I decided to do something different on this review, and ask my son his thoughts on the book, since we read it together. My son is eight and in third grade. So, what follows are his responses to my questions about the book.


What did you like about the book?
I liked the different colors {one world represented in color and the other only in black & white-Grayworld}. I like how they {Tommy...more

R.L Stine has been my favorite childhood author and even though the book was easy to read didn't mean I didn't enjoy it. In the book Tommy moves into a new school, although he doesn't dislike it he somehow feels odd about it. He hears weird voices at school and doesn't know why and how he hears them. Later on as he hear more it makes him wander where its coming from. Leads him wanting to figure out whats really going on in school. Soon Tommy learns that his school is not what appears to be nor...more

'The Haunted School'It's not all that scary, but it's pretty great and keeps your interest. This one is about Tommy Frazer. He 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. Then, weirder things...more

Finally after 4 or 5 bad goosebumps books I found another one I licked. Yes up until now I've read every Goosebumps book in order, but the titles to them were just terrible and did not grab my attention and I have but a few weeks to read about 30 books. So, sadly I have to be picky.

The title was interesting but at the sane time not very precise. School is not haunted, but in anycase. I cant even describe the book. Let's see, we have a class who is stuck in time and some students stuck in a class...more

The adventurous fantasy’s target audience is teenagers who like adventure and horror. I love adventure and horror and when I saw the cover of the book in the library and I thought this might be a fantasy book that I could like. Helping others is sometimes dangerous but you have to do it. The book is about a bunch of children who is stuck on a world that is black and white. Tommy is new in town and he finds the secrets of the school. I loved the part where he hears sounds from different world. My...more

It was about a boy who was new to a school and heard voices behind the walls. When he found an elavator from 50 yrs. ago when the school was found he and his friend Ben decided to use it instead of taking the stairs they end up in a place called GreyWorld and everything was grey. As their color started to fade the elavator opened again and the girl who had escaped from GreyWorld a few months ago was there but she forgot to keep the elavator doors open and then she was trapped there again. But th...more

When he goes up to the third floor for the art room to fetch some red paint, he starts to hear voices. After he comes back down, the dance is about to begin and one of the banners they made has been torn in half by the band.

This story is about a young boy called Tommy Frazer. His Father has recently remarried and they have just moved to a new town. Tommy begins school at Bell Middle School, which at first seems to be a normal school but this all changes. Within the school Tommy begins so hear strange noises. Strange events begin to occur and it becomes apparent that Bell Middle school is no ordinary school.

I enjoyed reading this book because the plot is entertaining. It starts in a comical way as the writer describes Tommy’s chubbiness and clumsiness and his frequent falls and Ben’s sarcastic personality, then in a fast pace, serious events occur that keep the reader alert, troubled sometimes and anxious to know the end of the story. The elevator part and the part where Tommy and Ben are caught by the crazed children are the most inspired parts of the plot. The passage where the girls spit black l...more

Ahhh, the Goosebump days. I would borrow so many of these from the library they seriously considered extending my limit of books checked out at one time. R.L. Stine you were a reprieve from a harsh and dreary childhood in which my mind wandered far away from the troubles of the day. I stole books into my bed and read far into the night by the faintest of lights. I might have better eyesight were it not for you; however, I regret not one page or line.
Chimu
hehehe i read it almost from 6 years

I remember when I finished reading
I cried from fear
I can't sleep, and I am still thinking about it a long time
Then I promised to myself that would not Read horror stories never again
I remember the events of the story My heart was beating well with events like the rest of the horror stories
But this is more horror story at this time I read
Hahaha
I was very child
i like it so much

One of the more frightening goosebumps books by far. I read this at an age where I was slightly past the acceptable age for reading goosebumps books (maybe 14?) and it still managed to scare me. I think R.L.Stine often tells stories that are a bit too weird to be appreciated in the horror genre, but his Nightmare Hour and Point Horror collections are far better in general than the goosebumps. He tends to build up very scary tension and keep you on the edge of your seat... and then it all comes o...more

I added this novel under the category of horror because that is what R.L. Stine wrote. The whole plot is about a boy who moves into a new town to find that his new school is haunted. After him and one of his friends stumbles upon an alternate dimension within the school, they are taken to a world without color and with people who used to go to the same school he currently attends many decades earlier. Now, he and his friend need to use their judgment and skills to get back to reality.

The Haunted School is a really good book with a different story. When Tommy joins the Dance Committee it shows that something is about to happen but what he finds out is unbelievable. I like how the story twists but the end kind of left me thinking about the consequences.
Denise
Very good story. I ran out of things to read while visiting my daughter and picked up one of my grandson's books (this one). Only took me about an hour (or less) to get through it but it was a good story. I was impressed (I've never read a "Goosebumps" book before).
Sydney Shuster
This is the Goosebumps book I most remember from my youth and so when I saw it in a bookstore I decided to pick it up. I was an avid fan back in the 90s, and I probably had at least half of the original run. For some reason this book sticks out. After rereading, I recognize that it's not the creepiest or the most familiar, but maybe it's the thrill of being trapped, or the creepy grey kids. Their method for leaving the grey world was especially memorable for me, and maybe that's what stuck with...more

This was a really good book it wasnt scary at all.Its about a gray world and these to friends some how get in to it and they start turning gray and when your totally gray you can get out but you stay completley gray.

This book is a book about a boy who has just moved, and wants to make friends. He starts to hear mysterious voices. One day he is trapped and there is no escape. If you want to find out more read the book.
Joseph Diaz
I loveeee this book so much not because it was written by one of my favorite author but because it is very mysterious just how i like it although i hate the ending read it and figure it out.:)
Janelle
I've been reading these during the 20 minutes of silent reading at the end of the school day... it's fun to reread them as my 8th graders enjoy them for the first time! :)
KRaKen
my favorite of all goosebumps series. I remember the days when I was in 6th grade, the library had 2 sections of shelves full of those books. I read them all. good old times..
Drucilla
A pretty unique story, but there's a huge plot hole that you actually don't notice until the very end and, in my opinion, leaves the story with a sour taste.
Sherry
a haunted school story which is so not what i expected
a hidden building inside the school no one knows about and you go back in time?
lolwut? :P
Justin
this was a good book. kind of spooky hearing voices when nobodys around or talking. even when someone is talking it doesn't really sound the same.
Kelley
My daughter loved this! She was excited with each new plot twist and it wasn't too scary, but suspenseful enough to keep her interested for several.
Melissa Diaz
