Read an Excerpt

From GOOSEBUMPS MOST WANTED #2: SON OF SLAPPYWas that a boy sitting on the edge of the front porch? He sat stiffly. His skinny legs were crossed. He was dressed in red and wore red shoes. His black hair gleamed in the sunlight. He didn't move as we walked toward him. He just stared at us with a big grin on his face."Who is that?" Rachel asked.We took a few steps closer. I laughed. It wasn't a boy. It was some kind of big doll.We stepped up to the front porch. "It's a ventriloquist dummy," I said. "Weird," Rachel murmured, staring down at its grinning face. "Why is it sitting here on the porch?""Beats me." I made a fist and tapped the top of its wooden head. "Hey, dummy.""Owww!" it cried. "Don't do that!"

Editorial Reviews

Praise for GOOSEBUMPS WANTED: THE HAUNTED MASK"...this book offers a great opportunity to rediscover what makes Stine so special: his swift characterizations, icky ideas, and prose that offers the exact right amount of cover-your-eyes detail." -Booklist"Pure, Goosebumps–style terror-by-formula, polished through use to such a high gloss that it slides along frictionlessly–a worthy celebration of the series' 20th anniversary." -Kirkus Reviews
