About R.L. Stine and His Book Heads, You Lose (Goosebumps Horrorland #15) By Paige

Revenge of the Living Dummy (Goosebump HorrorLand, #1)
R.L. STINE is the author of many children‘s books. He has written different series like Hall of Horrors, Goosebumps, and Goosebumps Horrorland. Mr. Stine also has some movies and cartoons based on his books. In Goosebumps Horrorland, R.L. Stine has many different children featured in his stories; for instance, Mickey and Amanda were featured in his newest book Heads, You Lose. This story is about a girl named Mickey who thinks she is being haunted because wherever she goes she is seeing people with no heads! Mickey is a fun tomboy.  She is very courageous and loves to go on many adventures. Mickey is an incredible character. She steps out of her league to get the heads to stop appearing places and for her family and friends to have heads again.
I like this book because if you change the names of the characters to your own, it feels like you’re going on that adventure. I felt like I went on that adventure because when I went down my stairs I could imagine that my parents had no head. That made me scream really hard. I would recommend this book because it is fun to pretend that you are in that story. The end of each chapter in this book leaves you hanging, which makes you want to keep reading. So, please try and read this book without losing...your head!

My First Book Review by Mikayla

Never Do Anything, Ever (Dear Dumb Diary #4)
I am reviewing Never Do Anything, Ever, a book form the series Dear Dumb Diary by Jim Benton. This book is about a girl named Jamie and her friend in middle school. In this book, Jamie tells us what has happened to her throughout the month. Also, the book is about what she likes to do; for example, Jamie and Isabella support an online charity this month. Her experiences are often funny. The author shares with us that you should be yourself. Jamie is jealous of Angeline, Jamie's neighbour and classmate, because she's smarter than Jamie. By the end of the book, Jamie realizes that she can do lots of neat things.

I liked this book because it's interesting. My favourite things about the book are the funny pictures and Jamie the main character. My favourite thing about Jamie is that she's goofy. If you like books that are humourous, then you will like this book too.

Check to see if Dear Dumb Diary is in the JRC library
