THERE'S NO PHONE IN THIS ROOM!
I AGREE THAT I LIVE IN YOUR BASEMENT IS A LITTLE CONFUSING BUT IF YOU STICK WITH IT YOU'LL LIKE IT. IT'S ABOUT A KID NAMED MARCO WHOSE MOTHER IS A SAFETY FREAK. HE CAN'T EVEN SHARPEN PENCILS! ONE DAY HE SNEAKS OUT TO A SOFTBALL GAME AND GETS HIT IN THE HEAD WITH A BAT. HE WAKES UP ON HIS COUCH AND GETS A CALL FROM A KID NAMED KEITH WHO SAYS HE LIVES IN MARCO'S BASEMENT. STARTLING EVENTS COME UNTIL MARCO WAKES UP IN A HOSPITAL. HE THINKS HE'S AWAKE BUT ACTUALLY WAKES UP AGAIN. WHEN HE GOES HOME HE FINDS KEITH IN HIS ROOM. KEITH IS REAL AND CAN CONTROL MARCO'S DREAMS. THEY GET INTO A FIGHT WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE THE END FOR MARCO! THEN KEITH WAKES UP. IT TURNS OUT KEITH IS A MONSTER AND WENT OUT TO PLAY SOFTBALL AND GOT HIT IN THE HEAD. HE LIVES IN MARCO'S BASEMENT WITH HIS MOM AND LOOKS LIKE AN INSIDE OUT PERSON. HE CAN LOOK LIKE US IF HE WANTS SO HE CAN WALK AROUND WITH US. MARCO THEN DISCOVERS THEM IN HIS BASEMENT. THE STORY THEN ENDS ON A JOKE. I GAVE IT 5 OUT OF 5 BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD. JUST STICK WITH IT AND I KNOW YOU'LL LIKE IT. I DID.

Better than I thought
I can see why this book only got a three star rating because it was confusing, but if you just pay attention to the book it will make sense. This book is about a boy named marco and his mom doesn't wan't him to play sports because she's afraid he'll get hurt. One day he sneaks out and plays softball and gets hurt. He then gets a call from a boy named Keith who says he lives in Marco's basement. I would say this book is one of the most unique books in the goosebumps series. This book in my opinion is still worth reading.

It was a good book.
The book is about a boy(MARCO) who's mother is paranoid. She warns him about everything, for example: don't play softball because you might break a bone. So he sneaks out to play softball, and his friend Gwynnie was practicing her swing and he got knocked in the head. So he went to school and his teacher asked him about his stay in the hospital. Marco couldn't remember the visit. He had a phone call from a kid named Keith, that said that he lives in Marco's basement. After these incidents it was all a dream. But Keith really did live in his basement. Then in the end it was another dream and Keith was really Marco and an alien.
