Fun little read, probably one of my favourite Goosebumps so far - it felt genuinely quite intriguing. The ending was a little underwhelming, but what can you do!

This is the first Goosebumps I read in over 10 years, and I am reminded of how one-dimensional the characters and how cringe-worthy the dialogues are.

Wendy and Elliot talk their parents into letting them ride in the trailer during a ride to camp, and somehow the trailer becomes unhitched. They roll down a hill and land by Camp Jellyjam where instead of being panicked and checking for injuries or trauma and making sure to contact their parents and the authorities, the kids immediately join sports events.

Whut.

If the vehicle I rode in fell into a ditch, the last thing I would want to do is go for a leisurely dip in a pool.

And the destruction of the King Jellyjam was an anticlimactic letdown. I read so fast that I had to backtrack and make sure that that was it.

R. L. Stine is a weird little freak.

I can dig it.
