About book The Haunted Mask (2003)

The book I am reviewing is Goosebumps the haunted mask by RL Stines. It is a science fiction book. My thinking of the books theme would be never try to do anything with a bad intention because if you do it you might be in big trouble and also love can destroy all evil in the world.This book is about a girl named Carly Beth. She has lots of friends like chuck, Steve and Sabrina. The only problem is they really enjoy scaring Carly beth like usual she always gets scared one day chuck and Steve sneaked a worm in the sandwich that he gave to Carly beth. After that event she was really angry at them when she reached home her mother showed her the head that she made of Carly beth. On her way to the room she saw a huge duck jump on her she later realized that it was her brother Noah who likes to scare Carly beth. On Halloween she made the plan of scaring chuck and Steve so she went to a party store which was recently opened. When she went there she noticed that the store was closed but finally a guy came from inside the store it was the store owner. He let her get in so then she started to look for a really scary mask. When the guy was busy she went into a room inside the store it was filled with the scariest mask ever, she asked the guy for the mask but he wasn’t willing give the mask after a lot of begging the guy was ready to giver her the mask. After she put on the mask her first victim to scare her brother Noah. She went to Noah room and saw that he was a cockroach for Halloween when she confronted with Noah. He almost was scared to death the Carly beth revealed that it was her. When she tried to take off the mask she was in deep shock. There are lots of character in this book but the main character is Carly Beth she was a girl who was scared of almost anything. Chuck, Steve and Sabrina were Carly Beth’s friend they like playing dirty jokes and pranks on Carly Beth to scare her in front of her whole school. The book is like really interesting and entertaining it is like kind of a good book when I was reading this in the whole book I didn’t feel myself getting bored. The plot and the theme was decent but it was kind of hard to tell theme was but the ending told me the theme. This book was kind of good like all Goosebumps books this has a surprise ending too if you want to know what it was read the book I highly recommend this book. My favorite scene was the ending because it kind of gave me the hint that there is 1% of chances there might be a part two of this book. My other favorite scene would be that when all the masks were chasing Carly beth because she hated those masks and the mask came to life she was running for her life that park was kind of funny because she was really scared. This book is really descriptive the only questions I had was what will happen in the end because in Goosebumps book I like the surprise endings. The book is excellently described like the characters and the mask I could even draw a picture of what the mask looks like. The book affected me by I will never try to take revenge on my friends which will get me into trouble.I would recommend this book to kids who like to read scary books because I don’t think teenagers would like Goosebumps books only like a few teenagers would like it because now a day teens like to read novel or other books. This book is also descriptive which would make it easier for them to understand exactly what is happening in the story and this book only has like 122 pages which would be easy to finish. I don’t remember any movies related to this but I do know a book which would be almost al the Goosebumps books. I would relate this to a world issue which would be friends getting trouble just to take revenge because Carly beth wanted to get revenge but she got in trouble by the mask got stuck in her face forever but finally gets the mask off her.This is like the best book ever. It is not even close to scary but it is obviously interesting and a bit funny too the part when Carly beth was supposed to wear a duck costume which was really childish I would recommend this book to kids who likes to read scary books because I would describe this book as a little scary. This book is kind of interesting with descriptive sentences. If I had to rate this book I would give it 3 out of 5 because its not like the best book ever but it’s a little good . This book also has appropriate language which is really suitable kids and it is also really easy book so that was the end of my book review

Okay I know that this is a Goosebumps book, but this is actually one of the better ones. Some of them I don't really care for but I really like this one because's it's a true horror story. I first read it back when I was 9 and it terrified me. It's about a girl who is easy to scare named Carly Beth. She is constantly teased for being so easily frightened, especially by her two friends Chuck and Steve who scare her every chance they get. As Halloween approaches, Carly Beth decides to get even with Chuck and Steve by buying a mask she hopes will terrify them. She finds a nearby costume store and buys a hideous green mask from the creepy old shop owner. He tries to warn her that it isn't just a mask but Carly Beth doesn't listen and buys it anyway.But she soon realizes that she and the mask have become one. And in the end, Carly Beth learns that there is nothing more important that the love of her family and friends. To this day I still enjoy reading this book. It was a pretty scary book, but it also teaches a lesson. And the author's writing style was very creative in this book. I recommend 'The Haunted Mask' to those who like a little thrill. Just enough to give you a chill down your spine. Like I stated earlier, this is really one of the better Goosebumps books.

This book is about a girl called Carly Beth who wants a really scary mask for Halloween.She then finds a really scary mask at the party shop that the store owner doesn't want to sell her. However she soon discovers that as she wears the mask her personality starts to change and suddenly she finds it very difficult to take off the mask.I actually enjoy these stories, as a child I found them really scary but now I've discovered that they are rather tame. But then they are stories written for children and the haunted mask is one of Stine's best work. Scary but there is nothing that would damage children. Further more children tend to be drawn to reading these books, which is a plus as it encourages children to read.These books are more suited for children of lower key stage 2 and they can be used in the classroom as books on the bookshelf for reading for pleasure. As they are not really appropriate for whole class activities.

this book was mainly about how Carly Beth Caldwell is a naive, timid and overly-trusting 11-year-old girl who is afraid of pretty much everything. Thus, she is a constant target for pranks, jokes and tricks, most of them being inflicted on her by Steve Boswell and Chuck Greene at Walnut Avenue Middle School. In the opening chapter, Carly Beth and Sabrina discuss what costumes they are going to wear for Halloween, and Carly Beth is tricked by Steve into eating a sandwich containing a live worm. Horrified, Carly Beth flees and vows revenge. After school, she goes home and finds her mother has made her a silly duck costume for Halloween, and also a very realistic plaster of Paris model of Carly Beth's head. When she goes to her room, the duck costume seemingly comes alive and attacks Carly Beth. It turns out it is her younger brother, Noah, playing another trick on her. Sabrina calls, and they discuss the school science fair. Warning this book may be scary for young readers so i would highly recommend this book for ages 12 and up.
