All three books are terrific! They will be great for Christmas gifts! Kim Engelmann is an amazing author!

Kim hits it out of the park. Emotionally, her Joona books are spot on, as they relate to the developmental world of children and teens. These books will unequivocally aid in the formation of a secure sense of self for the reader, as the main characters exhibit the full range of emotions that kids have, along with the added ability to problem solve and act as a team. Moreover, the books are fun, exhilarating and long overdue, as we desperately need our current state of affair. Positive, wholesome and well-done! 5/5 stars. Highly recommend.

That was a great review! Funny story, Kim is actually my mom so it’s cool to come across someone reviewing her books and ones that I read as a kid. She also informed me that the rereleased books do have updated language 😊. Thanks for making such a fun video!

Finding a Fear Street Saga in the wild is pretty rare. They go for a lot online, especially later ones in the series. (There are 16 books all up.)

Tales for the midnight hour books are really fun ive read two of them i think ? And always awesome you finding the Bailey school kids books !

You found so many cool books, I love Wishbone and Ghost Writer. The Halloweeners is great and perfect for Halloween, I think you'll really like it.

1:06 Finally the greek witch content.

so glad i found your channel! definitely making me want to read more YA!!

I love The Bailey School kids!

Hey buddy. Good to see you. Love these old books. So fun to see the vintage covers. I love how you announce each title. 😂😂

I've read Mummy Maker and it was good but i don't think I remember much from it lol. Bruce Coville is great and the My Teacher is an alien series is peak.

Yesss Myysterious Matter of IM Fine is good and a fun commentary on Goosebumps.

I’m shocked. An October book haul and not a single Goosebumps book.

very good review

Have you read Joan Lowry Nixon books? I loved her books when I was a teen.

Oh sir! Have you been following Lizzie Faye Loves Books (star wars)? There are several people the Killing Time with Cozies that are reading Murder She Wrote books.

Just added to my TBR!

Found you via SpookyBookNerd. Nice video :)

Haha you’ll thank me one day when you really want to read the full Animorphs series :) As far as Christopher pikes YA novels go, they’re a LOT more mature and violent than say a fear street or point horror book. They often cross some bizarre boundaries. But tbh, that makes for an extremely intriguing story if you don’t mind the craziness

I liked College Weekend! It's been ages since I read it, but I remember it being one of the better Fear Street books, in my opinion.

Nice you found so many great books and you can't beat those prices. I'm also blaming Zach for my non-stop book buying lol. So cool that your mom likes to read Fear Street books, can't wait to see which Goosebumps books you found lol.

Hey man i love your vids! Im getting visitor from the beyond in the mail sometime this week from ebay! I hope you enjoy all these books! have a great day!

Great little underrated book. Surprisingly dense and uneasy atmosphere to it.

Always nice to hear about more middle grade horror anthology awesomeness!

just finished this book last night and thouroughly enjoyed it. So far the endings in House of Shivers have been meh, but the ending in this one was fine, i wanted more, but i'm just happy we didn't get another Goblin Monday twist.

Haha I remember when I was in middle school I was trying to read every single goosebumps book available at my school library. I was burning through them at the pace of one boon per day but this one brought that to a screeching halt. I don't think my 12 year old self had ever experienced being sad at the end of a book before; I remember just hanging on to the ghost next door for the entire week of its lending period before returning it.

This was a very entertaining book review. I actually find it rare that someone's first book of these types of series is the literal first book, so uh congrats? Lol anyways, I am now interested in reading this book again because the last time I read it was a few months ago and I definitely do not remember anything to do with animals on the menu. Or maybe it flew over my head back then. And yeah, you're right about goosebumps being too light hearted and rarely ever going to the good stuff. I also much like how the characters and side characters all keep popping up throughout the books, it keeps things interesting imo and also helps to develop them further instead of having them stay as one note characters. The consistent characters are another thing that puts the Graveyard School series a step above Goosebumps in my opinion. Though this may have started as just another Goosebumps rip off, I do think this series has its own merits and ideas, most of which it pulls off surprisingly well. Loved your review of this, will definitely check out more of your stuff. It was so hard finding new reviews of these books because it's such a niche series. Are you planning to do any more reviews of these books? Cause I'd love to see(or hear) em!

I just finished this book and omg it was SO GOOD! I was on edge especially because I was reading the final few chapters in my room at night 😂. The characters are written so well! They are not annoying teens like you see now in horror movies, and the subplot between Terry and Alex was a perfect addition to further increase the tension. The pace was excellent, and like you said it keeps you on your toes. I also finished it in one day bc it was impossible to put down. 11/10 such a must-read especially for Halloween! 🎃👻 So far I've read Night Games, The Wrong Number, and now Halloween Party. Halloween Party is definitely my favorite so far, The Wrong Number is a solid second and Night Games is probably one of the worst endings I've read. Funny that was the first book I read and when I hated the ending I was worried I wouldn't like RL Stine. But The Wrong Number saved it and now Halloween Party has me hooked.

Thanks SO much Shaun for yet another insightful and entertaining review of one of my books! I hugely appreciate it :) I'm so glad you picked up on the complexity of Dr Salinger's motivation. You nailed it perfectly - inexcusable behavior but for a compelling reason. And I loved that you got the Nancy Drew easter egg! I usually try to reference another book in the series with an easter egg as well but I honestly can't remember if I did in this one or not :)

I'm 42 and I read them and enjoyed them. My son likes them, and he decides who might be monsters in the different books.

Thanks for the shout ! I remember in school this kid told me these books were better then goosebumps and I hated them for that lol but ad an adult their pretty fun most that I've read are exactly the same structure there's a few "scary " moments nothing crazy tho.My favorite so far is Santa doesn't mop floors

I used to read The Bailey School Kids books as a kid and they were a lot of fun. I would like to read more of them now to see how much I remember lol.

I read it recently while I think I liked Shadow Canyon a bit more (the main arc hit more for me), it was pretty good.

Couldn't agree more with everything you said in here. I felt the exact same, absolutely loved it and definitely got the Alien/Jurassic Park vibes too.

I only collect the SVH books that are like the Thrillers or Chillers. Those are fun.

I love the show. I called it when it was on Encore. P I've got a number of these books but I haven't had a chance to read them yet

This is such a depressing book.

This is such a wonderful entry in the series, it's so unlike any other Goosebumps book. The reveal is super obvious but the journey is touching and quite emotional.

I just discovered your channel, you earned a new sub. Keep up the great work 👍🏻

Great review! This is my all time favorite GB book. Stine can write emotion very well when he wants to, with this being the prime example. The revelation about who Hannah is, as you mentioned, kind of predictable and not necessarily what makes the book great. The writing, characters, the final act and ending, the emotion and relatability, and the themes is what makes this peak RL Stine for me.

Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, book 3! That is a great find! Love those books!

You can find audio books of the first seven Dead Sea Squirrels books here on RUclips. They’re all read by Mike Nawrocki.

Great review! I just finished it and I thought it was pretty good! Looking forward to your Mummy ranking (are you planning one? 😅) and I think I'll have to try it as well lol

I have to say I'm quite a fan of the goosebumps mummy books (I love mummies and Egypt in general) even if a lot of the time there isn't actually that much mummy action. I think you're absolutely right about people not knowing what to do with mummies in general though, they're a tricky monster to make feel threatening and an imminent threat

I don't remember a ton about this one as I've only read it once when I was like 10 lol but I do remember that i liked it but it's not the best mummy book from stine that I can guarantee.The best is easily whos your mummy from horrorland,but u recommend reading those in order

I remember being in sixth grade and learning about ancient Egypt. I became obsessed with mummies, pyramids and hieroglyphics so yes kids do go through an Egypt phase lol. This book was a fun read and honestly so far I've liked all the mummy books I've read by Rl Stine.

I read one book by Wylly Folk St John called Ghost Next Door, and I absolutely loved it! I have a couple of other books by her I need to read. She seems to have wrote quite a few childrens mystery/horror books back in the 70s. My Name Is Evil is pretty decent. The Nightmare Room series in general is very underrated. Excellent haul, cheers 💪

This one is all over the place in reception and I'm more in the middle. Gabe sucks through most of it and not much happens in the first half but there is solid horror in the back half. Ahmed is a bit iffy in dis depection but what he does is dark. So it falls in the middle and is the weakest of the first 10 or so books. And yeah not much mummy stuff which is common for Stine lol
