Book Reviews of Be Careful What You Wish For... (Goosebumps, No 12)

A rather good book, and worth a read if you're and R. L. Stine fan. Is it his best? No. Is it great? No. All in all, it's still enjoyable though.

i love all of r.l. stine's books and this is no exception. this girl gets 3 wishes, but none of her wishes are coming out the way she wanted. even her last wish goes all wrong.

ISBN 0590494473 - Samantha's a terrible basketball player but she's on the school team anyway - only because she's tall. Her height gets her attention she'd rather not have, especially from Judith. Judith makes fun of her all the time, and Samantha's tired of it. So when she meets a woman who offers her three wishes, Samantha can't resist aiming those wishes at Judith. She doesn't really believe the woman can make wishes come true... until one DOES come true... and things don't turn out quite the way that Samantha thought they would.

Not exactly a novel idea, this story's been told many times before, but Stine does a nice job of making it appealing to young readers. The ending is cute, not scary, but it doesn't take anything away from the book. Worthwhile, but don't knock yourself out to find a copy unless you're a serious Stine fan.
