This one was really fun! The main character gets sucked into various horror books and has to save other kids from summer camp werewolves, tropical zombies, and a vampire football team. If a reader makes it to the end of the book without escaping, they become part of the story forever! It manages to build a lot of suspense, though the explanation for the plot doesn't really make a lot of sense It was fun how they make several references to Goosebumps, even on the cover. Definitely one of the better books of the series, with some real stakes.

This was by far the best of the Spinetinglers books I've read. As a horror-loving school librarian I saw the cover and couldn't resist; I was not disappointed!
