Al's world scared stiff is my favorite book because Al and his friend Keith try to solve mystery's and they go to many different places like in school, cafeteria, malls, etc,. and that is why Al's world scared stiff is my favorite.

This story is about two kids with one dangerous and confused adventure. It all started on a plane arriving at Florida but one of them is scared of flying and can't wait to see his own grandmother. But that's not the problem they have at first, it's when the captain of the plane had a situation whether to land now or to wait a couple of minutes since there was a bad weather in front of them, the two boys got worried. After a few minutes the captain of the plane said it was O.K. to continue and they've arrived at their destination. The two boys were in search of one of their grandmother, when they found their grandmother she got worried also since she heard about the incident, but she controlled herself and the boys and her went to her car.
