This book is a total blast for kids who love a good spooky story. 'Mask of Madness' by Robert Lawrence Stine is a solid addition to the 'Goosebumps' series.

The Cover of 'Mask of Madness'

'Mask of Madness' is another fun and spooky read in the 'Goosebumps' series. I was really impressed with how well the story fits together - it's a quick and easy read for kids. The plot's laid out in just three minutes of rhyming text, which is a nice touch. The ending's not as gory as some of the other books in the series, but it's still a great story for kids.

Here's the lowdown:

Author: Robert Lawrence Stine Genre: Kids' Horror, Mystery Series: Goosebumps Original Release Year: 1993 Print Run: 2020 Licensor: AST Cover: Hardback Pages: 128

That's the basic info.

I've been really impressed with the new editions of the 'Goosebumps' series, and 'Mask of Madness' is no exception. One thing I love about the new editions is the hardback cover - it's so much better than the softcover version. The hardback cover is more durable and can withstand the wear and tear of being handled by kids. Plus, it's just plain cooler-looking than the softcover version.

Illustration from 'Mask of Madness'

However, the cover design itself is pretty bland. It's not as eye-catching as some of the other covers in the series. And to make matters worse, there's no bonus excerpt from another 'Goosebumps' book included.

This is a really engaging and interesting story. The main character, Carly-Beth, is a bit of a scaredy-cat who wants to scare her friends on Halloween, but things take a turn when she finds the perfect mask. She's not too happy with her face, and her mom keeps giving her weird gifts, but the mask teaches her to love both herself and her mom's presents.

A Scene from 'Mask of Madness'

This book is a great combination of a spooky, mysterious plot and a valuable lesson for kids. It's a great read for anyone who loves the 'Goosebumps' series or just wants to get their kids into reading.

'Mask of Madness': 'Shut Up! Shut Up! Shut Up!'

This book is a must-read for kids who love a good spooky story, and it's perfect for introducing them to the 'Goosebumps' series. The plot's great, the font's large and easy to read, the chapters are short, and the pages are packed with content. I highly recommend 'Mask of Madness' by R.L. Stine!

Thanks for stopping by!
