The Haunted School

I started reading 'Goosebumps' books as a kid, and this has always been one of my favorites.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

This book was amazing. It started off with these 3 normal kids working on a dance for the dance comittee. They ran out of paint so Ben had to go get some...on the thrid floor. Then when Ben went to get the paint he ran into a gray figure named Greta. He ran away but ran into a wrong room. He found aa bunch of statues of children that were from the 40s, and someone named Mrs. Broadan. She explained that 25 kids disappeared because someone named Mr. Chameleon took a picture of them, then vanished into thin air. Then Ben finally finds his way to his friends. He explains what happened. Then later on a girl named Thailia was putting lipstick on, but Greta stole it from her and Thalia started to get mad. Ben went back to the thrid floor with his friend only to get stuck in a dimension with the 25 missing children who were all gray. They got there from an elevator that went sideways. They said the same thing Mrs. Broadan said. Ben turned gray and so did his friend. He jumped out the window with his friend and these colorless figures tried to push them into a pit, but they escaped. They finally cracked open the elevator doors and were safe. They returned to the dance with his friend then they were going to take a picture. Mrs. Broadan said "Take the picture Mr. Chameleom." THen Ben thought about the name for a second and said " WAIT!!!" but it was too late. The picture was taken. i TOTALLY recommend this book.

The Haunted School:

This is by far my favorite Goosebumps book and one of my fav books of all time... It has a great story and creates a creepy and mysterious atmosphere. So Tommy Frazer is the new kid at Bell Valley Middle School. He hates his new town and stepmom. The school okay, but he hasn't made really any friends because all the cliques have their friends and stuff. So he joins the dance decorations comittee to make some new friends. He makes two friends a practical joker named Ben and Thalia a delicate beauty who obesesses over her make-up 24/7. On his one of the days on dance comittee while making banners Ben forgot to get red paint so Tommy volunteers to get it. Hoping to impress Thalia and not a make a fool of himself. Unfortenately for him, he hardly knows the maze of a school and get's completely lost. He soon finds himself at a boarded up doorway. He sees a door and opens it thinks he's seeing real people. But turns on a pale light and find that they are just statues. Odd look statues from the class of '47. He is caught by the principle and led to the art room and Ben makes a fool of him for losing his way.(...) This is a great book, though it is easy reading and is directed at younger to middle school kids, olde kids(lik me!)and adults can enjoy it too!!!God Bless ~Amy

One of my favorites from Goosebumps!

I think 'The Haunted School' is a really good book. It's not all that scary, but it's pretty great and keeps your interest. This one is about Tommy Frazer. His dad just got remarried; now he's got a new mom, and they moved to a new town so he's also got a new home and school. He winds up at Bell Middle School, which at first seems to be a normal school. He meets two kids, and wants desperately to impress them so maybe he can become friends with them. Then, when he signs up for the school's dance commitee, he starts to hear strange noises - like kids calling for help - as he gets some cans of paint. Then, weirder things start happening when he and the boy he made friends with find a room after getting into an elevator that goes sideways instead of up and down, with statutes of kids from the first class of Bell Middle School. They even enter an all gray world where everything - and everyone - are gray! Are all the gray children ghosts? Well, there's only one way to find out...! Read this book!

It's Just TOO GOOD!!!

Tommy Frazer come to a New schoo, Bell Vally Middle School. All in a sudden he Got a new mom, a new house and a new school. Will Tommy make some friends? What is the crying sound about? How did he get into the grey world? FIND OUT IN THE BOOK!!!! DON LET IT CREEP PAST YOU!!

Two boys are trapped on the other side of the world.

Tommy and his friend, Ben, were curious when they found an abandoned elevator in their school. The elevator led them to a gray mysterious world which doesn't have any colors, just plain gray. They were trapped in there. More exciting things happens to them when you read along the story. So BUY this book and you'll never regret it.
