برای یه کار کودک بد نبود. مجموعه ای از حوادث مهیج پی دی پی. شخصیت پردازی خلی ضعیفی داشت. یه سلام چطوری بیا باهم دوست و همراه بشیم وآدم بده رو مغلوب کنیم. تو هر صفحه سه چهارتا اتفاق می افتاد. با این حجم از طرفدار توی قشر کودک و نوجوان برای این مجموعه خیلی کنجکاو بودم ببینم چیه. توقع داشتم یه جور اسپایدرویک باشه. ولی این کجا و آن کجا. حالا دوستان نوید اینو دادن که از جلد دوم داستان خیلی بهتر میشه. در آینده ادامه میدم ببینم چطوره

I loved♡ this book because you really don't know whats going to happen. This book is perfect for 4th or 5th graders. If you liked this book you would like mystery books. The story is about a boy that is a werewolf and he hurts people when he tures in to one. He has to go to screem street and he meats friends but he and his parents want to get out. So they try to find their way out.

For a children book, this was really good.

I always shake my head at people who say they don't like series. Are they crazy? Nothing makes me happier than encountering a new series with an excellent concept and knowing I'll be able to return to it again and again. Scream Street is one such series, about Luke Watson the werewolf, Rhesus Negative the vampire and Cleo Farr the mummy. They all live in Scream Street, home to all kinds of supernatural creatures like surfer zombies and farting goblins.
I loved this from cover to cover - the excellent characters, the escapades of the three main characters, and really, what's not to love about farting goblins? Scream Street really is the perfect book for kids aged seven and up who like a bit of ghoulish fun, and I can see myself recommending it over and over again. This is one series I'm really happy to have finally started on, and I can't wait to devour the rest of them.

These books are really short and quick to read, great story and fun characters. I think I'm going to buy the second book
October 15, 2021
A cute, fast-paced story with a solid premise that leaves a lot of worldbuilding questions hanging. Recommend for elementary readers who want action and a relatively challenging vocabulary. Slight reservation for the villain being characterized as fat in an uncomfortable way. I did laugh at several lines, and the action makes for a quick read.
This book has a really solid and interesting premise that would make a great YA novel. Either the age group is not expected to have questions, though, or the writer wasn't as interested in answering my burning questions, or that comes later in the series. Because I have SO MANY QUESTIONS. Which I will share here, with my other thoughts, because...hey, it's social media. It's what we do. I would be *so quick* to buy a version of this with more character development and contemporary themes and more development on the world, if the author wants to get that published.
SPOILERS**** Below
Ok, first question. Main character is a werewolf (yay! We always need more werewolf stories). How/why? Doesn't seem to run in his family. Doesn't seem to be a curse. Not addressed at all.
He's established early on as a good guy. He transforms and attacks some bully for picking on a girl in some way. Again, in an aged-up version, we could really talk about the gender-politics of violence in the everyday world--because that happens before the novel opens in the "real world." Great theme to pick up. No? Ok. :(
Somehow, this third transformation gets the main character and his parents abducted by faceless minions and taken to a different "world" (Dimension?? Which feels like an odd choice to me) with all their stuff. This world, Scream Street, is billed by its founders, apparently, as a haven for the supernatural where they can live without fear. This has SO MUCH POTENTIAL for raising a discussion about sanctuary vs segregation/ghettos/concentration camps/discriminatory housing. The place is also being run by a creepy (and unfortunately depicted as fat) landlord who has shut off the electricity and is basically an enormous bully, who is a man without supernatural powers of his own, who nevertheless has been telling these people what to do for years without, say, prompting a violent revolution and the guillotine. Because reasons. Again, why would a haven for supernatural creatures set up an ordinary man as a landlord? Racism, anyone? The "other" being suppressed by the "ordinary"? Which brings me back to my other questions. WHO decides who gets sent here? How did they know about this boy? Did someone cover up for the missing adults and child, or are their workplaces and schools going to spend the next few weeks looking for them? What do their friends think happened to them? Who has the authority to send the abductors there to move people? Why did anyone create this system? Someone please ask because I am dying to know!
Okay, on with the plot. The nice boy and his parents are bewildered by this move. Again, why didn't they get, say, a notice in the mail or from a social worker? Who's in charge of that? And some vampires welcome them, including their son (who isn't Really a vampire, and just pretends), and then the MC's mom gets hurt in a poltergeist attack, and our noble MC decides he might like this place, but it's too much for his parents and he has to send them home. Which sounds like SUCH a YA plot, and could totally make some queer parallels here, (and we could totally have the parents join the quest and do better than expected and grow in their acceptance, etc.)and I really expected more angst, but they have to go meet the mummy girl and get started on their quest.
Why is the girl a mummy? Does she remember having her organs removed (her organs being elsewhere is a plot point)? Was she cognizant while that process was being done? Does she remember being a living girl? Who knows, who cares, we have books to steal and farting goblins to deal with and the fang of an ancient vampire to acquire and a landlord that three 8-10 year-olds are going to beat up. She's experimenting with makeup (because I guess she didn't get any of that in (presumably Egypt?)????) and is action-oriented about everything. (I have similar questions about the former classroom anatomy skeleton that teaches "school." I have OTHER questions about how two (real? dead?) vampires create a child, but I don't expect them to be answered because this is a book for elementary school children.)
Okay, the best bits were "the spiders were vacuuming" and the mummy girl getting stabbed, the MC freaking out about it, and the mummy girl being cool because "my heart's in a gold casket in my bedroom." Delightful.
(Her bedroom? Does she have a whole house to herself? Does she have parents?)
So many questions.

اگه منِ ۱۲,۱۳ ساله میخوندش، مطمئنا بهش پنجستاره میداد، لذا به امتیاز دادهشده چندان توجه نکنید.
در صورتی که توی رنج سنیش هستید، بخونید و به نوجوونهای اطرافتون هم پیشنهادش بدید. سراسر خلاقیته و حسابی هم بامزهست.
دوستش داشتم. :)

I'm on vacation, so I put a bunch of random books from the library on my tablet. I thought this series looked interesting and it turned out pretty fun and cute.

Child/Teen me: 5 stars
Adult me: 4 stars
*For the first book in a "child/teen/middlegrade/nostalgic" book, I am going with the rating younger me would have gone with, then if I read on in the series, I will rate the books what adult me believes it should be rated. If the book is a stand alone, I will go with whatever rating I feel most comfortable giving the book. Please note, I do not really think books should have an age limit. People should read what they want to regardless of the intended age group, except for kids reading erotica or something, of course.*

>>Diese Rezension und viele mehr findet ihr auch hier: http://wort-welten.blogspot.de/
Also eigentlich war Luke einmal ein normaler Junge - zumindest bis er sich letztes Jahr in einen Werwolf verwandelt hat. Seither passiert das immer, wenn er wütend ist. Und als er bei einem seiner Wutanfälle beinahe einen Hund abmurkst, reicht das - man verfrachtet seine Eltern und ihn kurzerhand in die Scream Street. Dort fällt Luke überhaupt nicht mehr auf. Seine neuen Freunde sind ein Vampir und eine Mumie. Das Problem ist nur, dass seine Eltern einfach nicht in diese Straße gehören. Sie haben Angst. Aber um seine Eltern zurück in ihre Welt zu bringen, muss Luke erst einmal einen Vampirzahn finden ...
Für große und kleine Leser - wohl so ab zehn Jahren - ist dieses Buch ein unterhaltsamer Zeitvertreib, der auch einen angenehmen Humor vozuweisen hat. Luke ist durch und durch ein zehnjähriger Junge - ob Werwolf oder nicht. Einzig eine gewisse Stelle im Buch, die das genau "Bergen" des gesuchten Vampirzahns anbetrifft, erscheint mir dann doch ein wenig zu - nun ja, detailliert, für junge Leser. Dennoch ein nettes Buch für zwischendurch und ein Auftakt einer Buchreihe, die ich vielleicht noch weiter verfolgen werde.

My 4th grade students LOVE this series. It's suspenseful, entertaining, and at times funny. Many in my class cheered when I said I'd ordered another three in the series (making it nine and I'll be ordering the rest).
It has a super concept--a street where all the houses are haunted, but Donbavand's strength isn't creating new creatures. Instead, he's good at putting a fresh spin on the old standards--vampires, werewolves, mummies, zombies, witches, etc.
I wish the chapters weren't so long--it kind of undercuts some potentially great cliffhangers and some of the jokes are little cheesy. But still, these are books that parents, teachers, and librarians will actually enjoy reading to children. Well done.

This creepy, action-packed series will likely be popular with the elementary crowd. Luke and his familly learned that he was a werewolf at his last birthday. When he transforms and attacks a school bully, his family is relocated by the GHOUL movers to Scream Street where supernatural creatures are kept by the government. The government must not care what happens there, and it is an entirely different world with evil Otto Sneer in charge. Luke is intent on finding a way to get his normal parents back to the real world, and with two new friends and a book of secrets, he begins the adventure to find the way out of Scream Street.

I think this book was fun, though a little flawed. I really like the writing, but there are just some things that are unbelievable.
Like the friendship in this book. It doesn't seem genuine, and I feel like that's because the book is so short. If it had been longer, then we could've not only gotten to know the main character better, but his friends as well. I imagine in future books the friendship develops more, but to me, it didn't have a strong enough foundation for me to think that these kids would risk injury for each other. Which is why it has three stars, because of the friendship. I think it needed not only more time, but also more reasons as to WHY these kids wanna stick together.
That's my only quarrel with it really, and that's why I've given it three stars. The characters didn't have a genuine impact or pop for me. I'm not hardcore invested in Luke or his friends, or the danger they face. I think if the author had established Luke's life before scream street, had given more interactions between the three main characters, and had emotional moments, then it would've been much better.
Other than that, it's alright. I did have times where I wanted to skim the book and just be done with it, because I wasn't really INVESTED in this world, and the characters. I will say though, I do like some of the creepy imagery and I think the fight scenes are good, but they don't have much of an impact because I didn't care about the characters. I think this book and the story it's setting up is interesting, but I'm not invested in it. Oh, and some of the humor is nice, but not all of it, especially at the end.

Lukas är varulv, han gillar det inget vidare men vad ska man göra? Han är helt enkelt inte som alla andra.
Efter en liten "incident" anländer plötsligt en grupp män i overaller till Lukas hus. De har S.P.Ö.K.A.B tryckt på ryggen och packar ner hela familjens tillhörigheter. Inklusive Lukas föräldrar! Det visar sig att Lukas lite okontrollerade förvandlingar till varulv tvingar hela familjen att flytta till Stora Skräckens gränd. Ett ställe befolkat med vampyrer, mumier, häxor och levande döda.
Lukas blir rätt snabbt vän med Resus (vampyr) och Kleo (mumie), men hans föräldrar avskyr sitt nya hem och är rädd för alla grannarna. Frågan är bara hur de ska hitta tillbaka till den riktiga världen?
Stora Skräckens gränd är en hel serie böcker om Lukas och hans kompisar. I varje bok är de på jakt efter en ny relik, men de råkar dessutom ständigt ut för nya äventyr. Böckerna är både spännande, roliga och lite läskiga och själv återvänder jag gärna till Stora Skräckens gränd.

Attempt #2 at reading a scary book from my school library for the Halloween season.
I didn't know before, but this was made into a TV show a few years ago. I didn't watch the show so I can't compare the two.
The book has potential but I didn't love it. The kids give Doug the zombie a beer as payment for his help, there's a whole bunch of farting goblins, Luke makes a rude comment about Cleo and she just slaps him on the arm, like 'oh, boys are so silly.' It is a little bit violent but not super scary.
Lots of loose ends; I'm not sure how exactly the purely evil Sir Sneer managed to become the leader of Scream Street, or who the other founding fathers were, or what exactly everyone *does* all day, every day besides live as outcasts on Scream Street and be dominated by Sir Sneer.
Might be enjoyable for younger kids that like farting goblins and aren't concerned with all the plot holes.

I wanted a quick, easy, Halloween read, so I chose the first book in the Scream Street series, Fang of the Vampire. If you are a fan of the Cirque du Freak series, but with a little less creepiness, then this is for you. I would place it at about a 5th grade level. It contained a bit of gruesomeness, but not over the top.
It is about Luke, who finds out he is a werewolf. A secret group sweeps in and moves him and his family to a safer place to live. Since his parents do not possess his talents, they do not want to live there. Luke tries to find out a way for them to be able to leave, since no one ever leaves Scream Street. He makes a few friends along the way and they all embark on an adventure, all while introducing the new characters of the series.
I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who is asking for scary books to read at this time of year.

After Lucas, a werewolf, is forcefully moved to Scream Street, he must find a way to save his normal parents and return to his old home.
Parents might not want their kids to read some of the "scary" chapters, but I could see how this might be the only type of book that boys would want to read. Straight off the bat, we are faced with a scene of a snarling werewolf drawing blood from a frightened boy. I didn't see any problems in the story - I think it's exactly the type of book that middle-school boys would want to read.
I liked the Halloween feel of the story and look of the illustrations, but it wasn't as detailed as I would like. Maybe this shorter book would be interesting for younger readers since the plot isn't too involved.

So I came from the show…
I originally watched the show a few years ago and I fell in love with the characters and their personalities.
I more recently rewatched the show and again fell in love with the characters!
And the books!
FANTASTIC! MONSTROUS!
~~SPOILERS~~
They are so amazing!
I love the little hints you get into each characters life’s for example : resus not being a vampire
Luke: what happened before scream street
And Cleo: with her outgoing courageous personality
These books are such a good read and surprisingly not babyish as most books for younger audiences tend to be there is quite a bit of gore horror and comedy which rounds the book off nicely.
I love this book one of my favourites I have recently read!

Revisited Scream Street 16 years since I've picked up the first copy back then, and I still wished I got a chance to live on that street.
Keep in mind that this is a children's book, the pace will be quick but there is enough depth to get to know the main trio better.
The first book details the "why" the main character was transported to Scream Street, and sets the story well and introduced the main trio - Luke, Resus and Cleo.
You will smile with the silly puns, interesting takes on folklore and also the illustrations really help in imagining what everything looked like!
Definitely a worth read for all ages!

I absolutely adored this book. Its a children's book so its a very fast read but it is written so well and has such a unusual story line to what i'm using to seeing that I simply flew trough it and was never bored while reading it.
I've already ordered the next book, express shipping because I can't wait to see what else Luke and his friends get into. I think any horror/goosebumps fan should read this. After all how can anyone resist a street filled with supernatural monsters, a hippy zombie and farting goblins.

This was the series that got me into reading. I remember my dad came home and he said "I found a book you might like" and he gave it to me. I finished it in two hours and I was hooked. It took us months to find the second book, but I managed to read 3, 4 and 5 in that time, as they don't necessarily have to be read in order. This was the series that made me into the reader I am today, and I've been so happy as I've reread this first book.

May 22, 2023I read this book because it was a childhood favorite of mine and, now that I'm an adult, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit Scream Street.
While I've certainly aged and the book isn't quite as exciting as I remember it (I blame it on something gross called maturity), it still was a fun and cute read. If I had kids, I'd hand this book to them in a heartbeat.
But since I don't, I'll just have to re-read them all for myself and return my inner child to Scream Street.

I love reading children's fiction novels but I didn't like this. I do think kids who like this sort of thing would. The characters were super cute. Simple, easy prose but the action happened way too fast for me. I think if less happened and what did happen wasn't so rushed I would have enjoyed it more. I've read other children's horror novels I preferred.
