If your kid thinks they're too cool for 'baby' books but isn't ready for the heavy stuff, this is the sweet spot.
R.L. Stine is a pro for a reason. He doesn't rely on blood or guts; he relies on the 'uncanny'—that feeling that something is just slightly off. It’s a fast read, it’s fun, and it’s a great way to get a kid to put down a screen for an hour.
Just be prepared for them to leave the hall light on for a night or two after the 'Pumpkinhead' story.
