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

⭐ Son Of Slappy shows Stine back at one of his finest talents. At the start of the story the readers meet Jackson Stander and his younger sister Rachel. Jackson is depicted as “the good” kid who always tries his hardest to do his best at everything. Rachel, on the other hand is a whole another matter as she’s shown to be Jackson’s opposite in every way and thus has earned herself the lable as being “the troubled kid” of the family. So as the readers soon discover, Rachel and Jackson don’t get along very well and during a trip to their Grandfather’s house they find-out that their grandfather has come into possesion of owning a supposed copy of the evil dummy, Slappy. Not long afterward, Jackson discovers that Slappy has come home with them. The pair are strongly warned of Slappy’s evil ways and of his strong domineering personality, but seeing as how the dummy in their postion is just a copy, don’t heed the warings. Shortly there afterward choas ensues when the two accidentally bring Slappy to life. After coming back to life, Slappy proves his awesome power and that the stories around him are true by hypnotizing Jackson into falling under his control. Slappy believes that by hypnotizing Jackson, he will lead Jackson down the path into becoming a great and twisted villian, like himself. Slappy even starts to view Jackson as his successor, his son. In my opion if this book were to get a letter grade, it would be a strong “B+” (from me) and on a scale of one to ten with one as the worest and ten as the best, this would be a strong eight becuase the story is a strong one which does hold the reader’s attention very well. Slappy is woken up earlier than normal which leads to some great craziness and he even gets in a few more really good lines some of which describe how he truly feels about his evil ways. Futhermore, while the story is shown from Jackson’s point of view (p.o.v.) it does occasionally sympathize with Rachel as there is one instance when Slappy first starts his crazy ways she just looks completely shocked, innocent and scared of what’s about to happen. This is also a good Goosebumps story that shows how lables can effect kids lives as Jackson is shown to be “the good kid” and Rachel is seen as “the troubled kid”. The lables in the story have made me wonder about what would have happened if Jackson tried harder to see that Rachel was actually a good kid who just needed some more help then he did becuase some kids need more guidance than others. This doesn’t mean that they are bad kids, they just need someone to point them out in the right drection, but then again if that happened then we wouldn’t have gotten the rich ending to this book.Despite all of these good points, the book also does have a few minor flaws. For example Slappy’s love of being evil could have had a couple more strong lines. Plus, the book would have been a little more engaging if Jackson demonstrated some more willpower over himself when Slappy tried to control him. That would have made for a more intersting dynamic between him and Slappy with Slappy saying that fighting him would be pointless, but Jackson still should have tried anyway which would have risen Slappy’s anger more and more. Lastly the ending, as good as it was could have been a bit longer and that’s all I’m going to say on that topic. Otherwise, it’s a very good book and if you love Slappy and how he opperates, then you’re more than likely to eiather like this book or really like this book, but as mentioned before from this reader’s perspective, it’s a “B+” type of book which is very good, but it’s not awesome and on a scale of one to ten with one as the worest and ten as the best, this would be a solid eight (from me). Recommanded for readers ages nine and up.

⭐ Arrived quickly, great price! My daughter loves to read and specifically asked for this book, and she loves it! Anything non-electronic she wants or enjoys, I definitely approve of!

⭐ Again my grandson love all things Slappy

⭐ I purchase these for my son who is just started to really get into goosebumps. He has enjoyed it so far. Amazing and good for older readers.

⭐ Son loves the Goosebumps books. He thought this one was good. Definitely a great price, it’s cheaper then anyplace else.

⭐ My daughter loves goosebumps as i did when I was her age!! So proud to see her reading books I loved!!

⭐ Slappy is my all-time favorite character in the Goosebumps series. Anything he is significantly in, I seek it out. This is such a complex character and every book tends to add on something new about the character. That being said, now to review this one.I’ve not read a Goosebumps book since “Slappy’s Nightmare,” which was a little strange but still very delightful. However, I have to say “Son of Slappy” is currently (as of this post) my least favorite of the Slappy books. This book felt somewhat strange and out of place from the very beginning. I’m not sure what it was, but it just didn’t feel…right. Slappy just felt very different and out of character. He was barely even in the story, said very little, was actually rather annoying, acquired a new adverb (tinny. Stine, what’s up with that?), and his motivation was out of left field. I mean, at least in “Bride of the Living Dummy” he had a misconstrued motive. I’m not even sure what Slappy was hoping to achieve in this one. It felt like it just wasn’t part of the canon. We learned rather little about his character. It just wasn’t…SLAPPY. He just didn’t make sense and it seems so weird for him to practically be an entirely different character altogether. I just didn’t get it and this was, as of the time of this post, the weakest storyline of the Slappy books.HOWEVER, all of that being said, it’s not a terrible book. I would say that “Son of Slappy” is a good read for someone who has never read the other Slappy books. It feels like a stand-alone story and not part of an ongoing venture of one character. If anything, Slappy (after reading NotLD 1-3, Bride of the Living Dummy, and Slappy’s Nightmare) is just not the same character and it’s the first in the Slappy books I’ve read where very little is added on to his complex character aside from a new voice. Granted, we can argue the differences in Slappy’s character is the up-in-the-air notion that this is not the same Slappy, but a copy (after all, the words are supposed to bring pretty much ANY dummy to life, if we are to believe the previous books).To be honest, even the main character felt strange. Jackson is not a terrible character. If anything, he’s actually really nicely written and you can’t help but really feel sorry for him once Slappy comes along. Rachel is actually a very annoying character, though I think that was somewhat the point. It just felt like there was less story and this book was a collection of whining characters and a Slappy that was just like “I’m too old for this crap.” Okay, seriously, if Slappy had actually said that in the book, that would have made this whole thing totally awesome. Just that one line would have made this book awesome.But, please, let me clarify that the book, on its own, is a good book. It just kinda has its own little thing going on that just feels really different from other Goosebumps books, and especially the Slappy books. It’s just very…different. If it was a stand-alone book, it would have probably gotten a higher rating from me. As it stands though, since it is part of an ongoing character arc of sorts (Slappy books, to this point, seemed to build off of each other to make Slappy a more and more real character, while this one felt like it made him a lot LESS of a real character. And his insults were just…really really lame. Granted, he was always kinda cheesy on his insults, but, this was just…groaners galore), it just didn’t feel as strong as the others and Slappy was just not as good of a character.Is there anything (from a major Slappy fan) that really stands out as good? Yes. The ending. And I don’t mean that in a sarcastic way. The ending was actually rather satisfying. It still had the open-endedness that Stine is known for in his Goosebumps books, and while that can work or not work in each book, depending on the preference of the reader, the ending of this one did offer me a little something I needed. I just needed SOMETHING to redeem Slappy for me, and that was the ending. I won’t give it away, but when I read it, I just felt a little bit of ease, as I felt like I had gotten a little bit of something I had been wanting out of the character for years. It’s not HUGE on its own, but to me, it stuck out and made me rather happy, even if it was just so little. It was just the RIGHT thing to do with Slappy in this book and it is very much appreciated. It made him feel a little more real in a story where he just felt otherwise.So, long story short: It’s an okay book. Good read on its own. As another book in the SERIES of Slappy books, this is the weakest one.

⭐ ok

⭐ My grandkids were excited to get this. It completed their library.

⭐ I LOVE THE STORY AND I CAN’T believe that SLAPPY has a daughter too! I chose this rating because it reminds me of the original SLAPPY from R.L.STINE BUT SLAPPY INSTEAD OF TORMENTING THEM LIKE MR WOOD HE HAS THEM AS CHILDREN! I love how R.L.STINE did make the story extra creepy! BUT …. I think the play for the YC i think the jokes be a bit funnier than the old jokes DON’T MAKE THE JOKES LIKE POO (just kidding )
