The printers were working overtime-shipping 3 million copies per week-and Goosebumps was spun off into many different formats. I remember well those heady days in the office when we could not keep Goosebumps in stock. It was a huge bestseller and Jovial Bob decided to focus on horror.īob went on to write the Fear Street series for Simon and Schuster and then returned to Scholastic to create Goosebumps, his mega-bestselling, life-changing series that turned millions of kids into readers. In 1984, then-Editor in Chief of Scholastic, Jean Feiwel, asked Jovial Bob over lunch to take a stab at writing a teen horror novel called Blind Date. “It was my life’s goal to have my own national humor magazine,” Bob said in a recent interview, “and I had reached it at age 28.”īob was a practical joker, and the accounts of his many pranks will have to stay locked up in the Scholastic Book Clubs vault. His future wife, Jane, was the editor of Dynamite magazine, and the two worked together to create Hot Dog! magazine as well. Stine was known around the halls of Scholastic, where he worked for 16 years, as “Jovial Bob Stine.” He wrote many joke books for Scholastic Book Clubs and was the editor of Bananas magazine. And even though personally I do not like to be scared, I loved reading Goosebumps books right from the beginning-and I still love sharing them with kids and watching them get excited about reading. Maybe other ventriloquists have dummies that come to life too! I would also recommend this book to people who like other R.L.Everyone at Scholastic Book Clubs feels a close personal attachment to Goosebumps and its origin story. I would recommend this book to other people who like ventriloquism. I enjoyed this book because I actually wanted a dummy in real life and was upset that Kris found one and found a job in ventriloquism.
My favorite character is the dummy because it comes to life and I know that cannot happen in real life. When Kris finds the dummy in the trashcan, she gets scared beacuse she thinks it is a real person. It is a fun book, plus it is entertaining. I like this book because I like ventriloquism (and the dummy in this book talks). So she grabbed a stick and hit Slappy with it before he could attack Kris.
Slappy rushed upstairs but Lindy could not catch him.
When she got downstairs, she saw Slappy moving all by himself. That night, Lindy heard something downstairs and went to check it out. They talked about how Kris found the dummy and she said she named it Slappy. When she got home, Kris went to show Lindy. It was a dummy! Kris decided to take it home. On the walk she found a trashcan with something inside it. One day, Kris Powell took a walk with her dog.
Have you ever read a book in the Goosebumps series? If you haven't you have got to read this one.
