Give Me a K-I-L-L by R.L. Stine

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


It's hard to believe that the last book in the "Fear Street Relaunch" was so much better than the first two.

I think what makes it work is using something very familiar and adding a touch of that new century-technology vibe. Cell phones and Fa Read more of this blog post »

There was a cockroach
In the bathroom one day
So I grabbed a tissue
And tried to grab it softly
To take it outside
But the cockroach wouldn’t
Cooperate
So I crushed it with the tissue

And my friend
Who was staying over
