Ghosts Don't Get Goosebumps was entertaining. It took me back to when I was younger and had time to read anything and everything I could. Unlike a lot of children/YA books, this one kept me guessing at the ending and even elicited some tears when I finished.

I remember liking this enough when I read it as a kid that I felt a need to put myself through way too much googling to remember what it was called. I don't know if it would hold up now, but if I ever stumble upon it in a library, I'll let everyone know.

I was forced to read this book as a teen but fall in love from the very beginning. Which is hard to believe since one I wouldn't read unless made to because from an early age I knew I was ADHD, dyslexia and also phonics illiterate. So if you know a child like that you understand how hard reading may be for them but this book just sucked me in and made me read it till the very end. I believe every child adult person who reads should at one time read this book either for yourself or to your child. After years of looking and finally finding the title and author I am ordering this book for Christmas so when my young son is old enough I'll have it for him to read and hope he falls in love with this book like I did.
