Customer Reviews

Glad I played the clarinet
I was addicted to these books when I was younger and it wasn't until I was majoring in education in college that I figured out why. They were interesting with bizarre plot twists that most 9-12 year olds don't think about and they were short (this one is 124 pages). I could read the whole thing in a day.

My parents also didn't have a lot of heartache with buying me a new book because these are relatively inexpensive (in the neighborhood of 3-5 bucks each).

R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" books aren't scary, just kind of creepy. There aren't graphic descriptions of murder and mayhem. Just some ghosts, werewolves, or potions. The main character is alive in the end, and the final chapter resolves everything.

**Keep in mind, R.L. Stine has other books that aren't in the "Goosebumps" series that tend to be a little harsher when it comes to hauntings and plot. They are written more for the 12-14 age group and are longer (around 150-200 pages).

Better Stay Away From The Piano!
This book is one of the best "Goosebumps" books, this one actual scared ME! The ghost in this book, freaked me out! When Jerry found an old piano in the attic of the old house he moved into, he wants to start taking lessons, but that's when he starts hearing a slow, sad song in the middle of the night! When his first lesson came around, the ghost did too, Jerry gets a warning from the ghost: "stay away from my piano"! What happens to Jerry and the ghost? I guess you'll have to find out for yourself and jump out of your skin while reading it! Enjoy!

This book is about a most unusual piano teacher.
The reason I liked this book is because I liked the way that the author explained the story.I liked the part where the mystery of the piano techer is revealed.
