So we have slowly started trying to read one goosebumps book a month. K is really starting to enjoy the books more and more. So we finally got to read Night of the Living Dummy and we both were kind of surprised that Slappy didn't do all the tricks and meanness through out the book since we are being introduced to him. Though we got surprised at the end and LOVED it.
In this book we are with a set of twins who if one does something the other one has to do it too.
