I was sort of hoping for something spooky to happen because Stine is the author of Goosebumps, but no such luck.

This book was my childhood

[B.J. Burgess · Rating 5 out of 5]

Being a life-long horror fan, this happens to be my favorite book in the Rotten School series; which might be surprising to some as there less laughs in this one. However, what stands out are all the illustrations by Trip Park. Most of the pictures are spoofs of old low-budget B-horror flicks from the 1950s and 1960s. Overall, Rotten School: Night of The Creepy Things was a delight to reread this week.

Genre: Modern Fantasy, fiction, young reader
I liked reading this book better than Calling All Birdbrains. The print was easier to follow and the story line had me interested. The pace was good and the descriptive writing was fun and enjoyable. I believe young readers will enjoy this series by R. L. Stine, but some of the stories may not hold their interest.

Children at the Rotten School hear about a movie horror contest, they start to oozing with ideas about their own horror tales. Everyone is trying to scare each other but they don't know how scary things will get.
The writing is humorous more than scary, children can relate to all the topic in the book. Fun, engaging and creative book
