But their dad is a scientist and he's going down there to study the local flora and fauna. Unfortunately for Kelli and Shawn, there seem to be some very strange creatures that live around their house.

This is one of the better RL Stine books I’ve read this year. Kelli and Shawn are moving from New York to a swamp (in Florida I assume?). The kids in their new school let them know about the legend of the Shaggedy, a swamp monster, and both kids are freaking themselves out about it a little, as the action slowly escalates.
Most of the book is set up for the climax, but the characters and swamp setting were fun. The ending is a 10/10. There were a couple of twists I didn’t see coming at all.
Absolutely would recommend. My daughter (11) thought the average rating of 3.93 was too low, so it’s a great book for its target audience. 😂

In certain ways, Here Comes the Shaggedy is a throwback to the earliest Goosebumps books. It's written in third-person, a mode that became increasingly rare as R.L. Stine figured out the style of the series. The chapters are also unusually long for a Goosebumps book of the 2010s. Welcome to Dead House, Monster Blood, and others from the original series featured lengthy chapters, but they became shorter as R.L. Stine found his rhythm and audience. A few Goosebumps classics have been set in and around mysterious swamps, and Here Comes the Shaggedy revisits that environment with the story of Kelli and her younger brother Shawn, city kids dragged to backwoods Florida for a year so their father can study marine life in the swamp. They aren't pleased with the move in the first place, but they go from unhappy to terrified when they learn that something horrible is lurking in the brackish water.
Kelli promises her father she'll give Florida a chance, but Florida seems in no hurry to reciprocate. Zeke and Decker, twins from the one-room school that Kelli and Shawn are enrolled in, ridicule the two new city kids, and tell disturbing tales about a monster of the swamp. The Shaggedy is ruthless, they say, attacking people and destroying property indiscriminately. Shawn, a naturally fearful soul, begs his father to go home to New York. Kelli isn't convinced there's any swamp monster, but something bizarre is going on. Monstrous footprints appear outside their house, and Kelli catches a creepy old man who goes by the name Ranger Saul sneaking in the vicinity. Whatever embellishments Zeke and Decker have added to the legend, the Shaggedy is real, Ranger Saul insists, a threat to everyone living near the swamp. Can Kelli decipher the truth before her family and neighbors are consumed by a grotesque primordial beast...if the Shaggedy exists at all?
Here Comes the Shaggedy is slower paced than most Goosebumps books, and doesn't entirely make sense, but there are a few positives to it. The story feels different than much of what R.L. Stine writes, and Shawn is an appealing character. It's easy for us to feel protective of him, especially when he's in real danger. My favorite Goosebumps character is still Billy Deep, but I like Shawn. I'll give Here Comes the Shaggedy one and a half stars, and if you enjoyed the first few installments in the Most Wanted sub-series, you'll probably be a fan of this book.

Here Comes the Shaggedy is plain boring on the first and second half as most of the book is built around the atmosphere with characters that are boring as they feel in the story, with the exception of Saul the swamp hermit looking hunter. he was an interesting character.
So the book is set on a swamp, the story is in the vain of Werewolf of Fever Swamp and there's this mystery about this swamp monster called the shaggedy that never really does some things honestly. until it was summoned on the last half which makes the book a little intriguing. lots of okayish twists on that part, one of them I did not see coming and I have not seen anything like that before. (keeping it vague as I don't wanna spoil the multiple twists)
Like a lot of Goosebumps books, the main monster just appeared for like 5-10 pages and that was it, but atleast some last Goosebumps books that come before this has a great build up. this one does not. How they managed to defeat the monster was rushed and goofy, atleast it makes sense.
While not the most horrible thing, It was still fine and I can atleast get a little bit of fun out of.
This ranks low in the Most Wanted books I read so far, not the worst, that title still belongs to Planet of the Lawn Gnomes.

Inspired by nothing more than wanting to watch a Goosebumps YouTuber’s review, I grabbed the eBook for the ninth feature in the Goosebumps Most Wanted series. Here Comes the Shaggedy featured one of the most laughably bizarre and bloated endings I can remember from a Goosebumps book but nevertheless felt like an excellent entry in the series.
Kellie and Shawn Anderson move into a Florida Swamp, trading their exciting New York City lives for a one-room schoolhouse and strange neighbors. Two odd classmates swear they’ve seen the Shaggedy, a local urban legend that emerges from the swamp, but the Andersons are skeptical…until footprints, vandalized warnings, and a skull-obsessed ex-park ranger cast some doubt.
I tend to remember Goosebumps entries as fairly tame and devoid of even PG-13 gore but Here Comes the Shaggedy offers some graphic elements. There are the animal skeletons, of course, but Kellie literally squeezed blood out of a dead bird as part of a summoning ritual—I did not expect that. In addition, most Goosebumps stories that I remember include a first-person narrator, rendering the story through the eyes of a tween in a manner that sorta turns me off now. But this entry is fully third-person and the writing feels much more elevated, with some rich description and a story that takes full advantage of being outside the main characters’ minds. Was the story ever truly scary? Of course not…but it definitely built suspense and earned some eager reading as I approached the halfway point.
The only major criticism I levy at Here Comes the Shaggedy relates to its ending which tried to do a little too much all at once. While the reveal about the Shaggedy was delightfully zany and wholly unexpected, a second revelation got dropped in so suddenly and with such low impact on the story’s ultimate resolution that it ought to have been left out, especially in a conclusion that otherwise felt almost lighthearted. I love twists but they’re not a “more the merrier” situation and I think I would’ve finished this fully impressed with the read were it not for a twist so toothless that it occupied only a few lines of text.
Otherwise, though, I enjoyed the slow pace and tension in here.

It is slowly daunting on me that, perhaps, I am getting too old for Goosebumps. To be honest, this was a boring and drag read, but, this book would have honestly kept me up all night, excited and scared, if I was 12 again. Goosebumps was such an important and favourite part of my childhood, that bidding farewell to this series, would mean accepting that I am an adult now. And that a part of doesn't want. I want to be 11 years old again. I want to spend 35 minutes combing through the fiction section of my school library, trying hard to find a Goosebumps I had not already read. I want to feel that excitement when I finally find that Goosebumps book I will take home that week. I cannot wait to go home from school. I cannot wait to read my new Goosebumps. For hours I would bury my nose into this thrilling world of which I was only a spectator. And I felt it. I felt R.L.Stine's words, I felt the fear as the protagonist woke up in the middle of the night, slipped on a faded hoodie and jogged outside in the middle of the night whatever she should not investigate. I felt I was there with the protagonist. The books were alive when I was 11 and I harboured the dream of owning my own Goodebumps collection. Now Goosebumps is just a memoir of a time spent too fast but too blissful in my life - my childhood.
While I will not recommend this book to adults who like serious reads, this is definitely a book which will set a child's imagine free.

So with the Most Wanted series coming to a close, i was holding out for hope that this would be a really good story knowing how much this one is talked about. Sadly, it was just decent. I found the first half to be kinda whatever, and the second half is cool but shouldn’t have had so many odd twists like the one revealing everything that had happened so far was fake.
Not one i can actively complain about… but one that im also not gonna praise much, 6.5/10.

"Goosebumps Most Wanted Here Comes The Shaggedy" is about Kelli and Shawn Anderson, who's dad makes them move to Florida swamps. On their first day of school, they here about the legend of the Shaggedy. On their first day, they also meet two brothers, Zeke, and Decker who talked about the shaggedy a lot. Could Zeke and Decker be behind this, if you want to know read this book. I recommend this book to people who like a thrill and an entertaining book.

I have read so many books by this author, I can't add them up. But for years my children, and now grandchildren have had our hair stand on end with the delightful 'Goosebumps" brought to us by R.L. Stine.

This book was not that scary but it was fun to read and it was surprising when the shaggedy was the boys that were saying the shaggedy was real.

This is probably the weakest book I’ve read in a while. Great setting, okay protagonists and an actually happy ending. That’s really all my positives. Besides that, it sucked. The first half was a let down that the plot twists were just really dumb-and not in a good way. Don’t even get me started on the disappointment that was the Shaggedy.

TLDR;
“Life is so boring, Becka. Tenth grade is so boring. Go to school. Do your homework. Sleep and go to school again. We have to do something crazy. Something exciting.”
Kelli and Shawn Andersen just want to go back home to NYC, as far away from the Florida swamp and the Shaggedy as possible. Kelli is picked on, teased, and harassed and is made to feel even less included in her new school. The characters, their situations, and their reactions were all authentic. It had some good plot twists that I enjoyed and the ending was pretty good.
Typical Swamp Things:
Kelli and Shawn Andersen have moved “from New Your City to a Florida swamp. According to their father, a marine biologist, “Living next to Deep Hole Swamp is going to be the most exciting year of your lives.” “After their parents divorced, their mom moved to Seattle” and Kelli hated visiting Seattle too. All she wants is to go back to New York City and be with her friends. When Kelli and Shawn go to school they see everyone, including police, surrounding “[e]normous footprints dug deep into the muddy ground.” Zeke and his twin, Decker, tell them about The Shaggedy, a swamp creature that they’ve seen come out of the swamp. Shawn is younger than Kelli and is getting scared with all the stories and horror movies he’s seen about swamp monsters. Their Dad won’t budge though, he tries his best to calm Shawn’s fears of the swamp by taking them out to Deep Hole, the deepest part of the swamp. He says “it’s a change to solve the mysteries of the most mysterious swamp in Florida.” He continues: “But, remember, you don’t have to be afraid of all the animals here. The influx of salt water brings interesting creatures into this swamp.” Interesting creatures indeed.
Kelli and Shawn get lost in a rainstorm while walking home from school and meet Saul, a former park Ranger. He confirms that the Shaggedy is real and he knows how to summon it. He makes the kids uncomfortable and they hurry home. Zeke and Decker continue to tease Kelli at school. Kelli and Shawn are victims of multiple “jokes” about the Shaggedy coming for them. They believe it’s Zeke being a jerk, but could it be the Shaggedy? Zeke doesn’t like them because city folk aren’t welcome, they don’t belong. Kelli agrees, she doesn’t want to be there either and just wants her dad to take them back to New York City. Kelli didn’t believe in the Shaggedy at first, but things keep getting worse and she’s as frightened as Shawn.
This was a good book. I understood Kelli and I understood Zeke. The schooling was weird, they teach all the grades together, but I don’t understand how that’s possible. But the escalation of the notes being left for the Andersens was good and scary. Kelli’s frustrations and being new are valid. There’s a moment after she gets a horrible nickname where she thinks: “She was a total loser down here. She was a joke at school. She hadn’t made a single new friend. Zeke and his twin made her life miserable. And all the frightening talk about the Shaggedy.” She worries that her friends in NYC are forgetting about her as they aren’t replying to her texts or returning her calls. I really felt for her.
I enjoyed the ending; the plot twists were good and I didn’t see them coming. It really made the ending even more satisfying. I liked the opening chapter with Becka Munroe and her boyfriend Donny Albert. It was more of a prologue than the first chapter though, but I liked it.

We actually got this for a good price as we bough this book along with another one from our school library.
I have never read Here Comes the Shaggedy so I wasn't sure what it was going to be about. Looking at the cover it seems to have a creature almost like a snapping turtle.
Instead of a snapping turtle it is a swamp beast, one that lives in the swamp near where Kellie and Shawn will be living, since they have to move. They will hear stories, and meet creepy people, but nothing will prepare them for what actually comes from the middle of the swamp. Maybe they shouldn't mess around with things they don't know much about.
For a Stine book it really was not that scary, we learn who is behind the swamp beast it was actually pretty neat how it all came about. K was in awe on that part.
Overall it was a good read with a good story plot.

The theme of this book is always giving someone a chance instead of shutting them down and not hearing them out. First I liked the setting of how the family moves out of the "big city of New York into a quiet old swamp with nobody in sight, other than trees, grass, and lakes." Also, I like when Shawn the young brother overcomes his fears of the Shaggedy and beats the shaggedy so hard with the ore that it becomes mud and mush. In addition, I like the imagery when Kelli talks about the new house that they will be staying in "This house is so nasty, it looks like God whipped a bugger and put it onto the face of the earth." I like how Derek and Zeke at the beginning of the story try to convince everyone that the shaggedy is real and nobody believed them until the end when the pictures leaked to the whole town. Finally, I don't like how they don't explain how the shaggedy reappears back in the swamp at the end of the book.

Two kids, Kelli and Shawn Anderson, have to go live in another state that has a giant swamp because their dad’s work is studying plants. When they’re there, a lot of strange things begin to happen, including hearing about the legend of the Shaggedy. The conflict is whether they can convince their dad, who doesn’t believe in the Shaggedy, to move before it is too late.

I finally finished this series! I don’t know why it took me so many years to pick up the last two books (besides the fact that I just kind of forgot about them), but I’m glad to finally be able to shelve all of these books as “read”.
This one had a really cool twist that I actually didn’t see coming at all, and it was just a lot of fun to read.

Here I am at the age of 29 reading Goosebumps. My kiddos at school, I'm a teacher, enjoy Goosebumps so I also need to be up on some of the things they like. At 29 I was also sucked in. The suspense was thick in this book. Obviously the writing geared for late elementary kiddos, but a book they will love none the less.

The story was a bit boring and you can expect what is gonna happen. But I cannot complain as it is a children's book not a book for a 20 year old. The characters are interesting and there is two unexpected twist in it, other than that there is not much surprises. But the conversations are funny and interesting enough to keep you going.

Great book !! kept me going. Full of action. Felt like I was there. I love reading this series and there are a lot of Gossebumps books I still need to read !! Kelli was my favorite character because even though she wanted to go back to New York so badly. Kelli decided to stay in Florida do to experience you goes through. Here Comes the Shaggedy indeed.

This book was very interesting. I think that in the beginning, it helped me get an idea about the shaggedy. I liked how that in the end, although so many bad stuff happened to them, they wanted to stay.
February 15, 2024
You'd think a story about a monster in a swamp will be entertaining right? Well no, this book had potential but trying to put dull plot twists into the last few pages of the book makes me cringe at it. Why Stine did you make Ranger Saul a federal agent? And make the decker twins the shaggedy? It had a strong start but completely lost me. 2.6/5

Typical brother and sister mostly at odds dynamic.
A bit longer than most of the earlier Goosebumps.
Fairly slow getting started.
Contains a macabre ritual involving blood and a dead animal.
A little bit of Moana, a little bit swamp thing, a little bit Godzilla vs Kong.

At first there was clues that the Shaggety was real, but then they turned out fake. But the good part is that two kids were the Shaggedy. They were just disguised as kids.
