Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: G 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Thinking they are in for a boring summer, twins Betty and Billy have to spend time with Uncle Wendell in his secluded house at the edge of the Wayward Forest. The twins don't have a chance to get bored before discovering that Uncle Wendell is the keeper of the most scariest book in the world, and they have to face their own scares to keep it safe. 

This is standard R.L. Stine fare, so fans of his will probably enjoy it. The storyline was okay, though Stine has better books. But if you want a quick read that brings back Goosebump nostalgia, then read on. The culture and race of the main characters is never mentioned.
