[Nikki · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was ok. Some of the endings and plots of the stories were interesting while others were really weird and pointless. This was one of the better books in the series but I just don’t think these were done all that well. I would recommend other Scooby books before I would ever recommend these.

[American Mensa · Rating 3 out of 5]

This mystery book was slightly puerile for my age, however, for younger children, the book will be a perfect adventure as they will truly feel a part of the Mystery Inc.

The famous Mystery Inc. gang is back with another Scooby-Doo adventure. While judging the costume contest, tragedy befell the group when witches overtook the annual showdown. Will they survive in the end? Will they run away? Will they ever truly judge the contest? In this book by Matthew K. Manning, you choose the track the gang should take. This interactive feature kept the book interesting.

Scooby Doo-The Salem Witch Showdown is for people between the ages of 6 to 10. With mystery, fantasy and bits of comedy, this book caters to people ready for a spooky adventure.

It's fun to choose your own path with the Mystery Inc. gang.

My 5 yr old loved exploring the story to find different endings.

There were a good number of laugh out loud moments for him, and I wasn't bored reading this one either.

A quick fun adventure with Scooby and Shaggy where we solved the mystery! And got donuts! How could the story be better?
