There is this girl named Jenny, and she has a baby sitting job, and she goes to this scary place, and she hangs out with this little boy that she thinks is so adorable. She puts him to bed then "she gets scared!" She keeps hearing scary noises and then the phone rings. "Hello," Jenny says but nobody is there so she hangs up. It rings again, "hello," nobody there {again}... I love this book! If you like scary and a little funny you should read this. Also if you like R.L Stine books this will be great :).

This book is about a girl who is spending the summer at a beach. She meets a boy who is very nice. But as she sees him more often, she starts receiving menacing phone calls from anonymous people, and even finds graffiti in her apartment! I wasn't completely interested in the plot, but I liked the horror and suspense.

Goosebumps: The Werewolf of Fever Swamp

by R.L. Stine

FIC STI, Series section

This story is about a boy named Grady who just moved into a house near an eerie swamp because his parents are researchers who are trying to find out if a certain type of deer can survive there. Soon Grady finds a stray dog and names him Wolf. Ever since, some "creature" has been killing the deer that Grady's parents are studying and also the other animals living in the swamp. Everyone suspects Wolf, but Grady thinks that the beast killing the animals is "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp." I liked this book because it is very suspenseful and fast-moving. I also like the Goosebumps books because the endings are very unexpected.
