Werewolf of Fever Swamp (Classic Goosebumps #11) (11)

I bought every goosebumps book I could find on Amazon and I’m happy to have them all. I’m sad the kindle versions are shorter than the later updated versions, but I’m still grateful to have them on kindle even if they are shorter. I love this book! It was my favorite as a kid and I am still loving it! The nostalgia is strong with this one!

The howls. The torn apart rabbit. The killed deer.When Grady Tucker and his family move to thir new home in the Florida swamp, Grady is ready for action. He can't wait to explore the vast swamp with all the interesting wildlife. But just four days after moving in Grady hears something very weird at night. Howls. Like the howls of a wolf or a coyote. But after meeting two kids in the swamp, Will and Cassie, Cassie says something very surprising and weird. "There is a werewolf in the swamp," she says. "Those howls at night are the werewolf." At first, Grady does not believe them. But then there was the ripped apart heron in the swamp. Then the ripped apart bunny rabbit. And then the murdered deer. Everyone thinks Grady's new dog is responsible. After all, he showed up just about when the howls started. But Grady knows his dog is just a regular old dog. But he does not know who is the werewolf in the swamp. And the werewolf has been watching him ever since.

This is one of my favorite childhood books. My husband had never read it. For our paper anniversary, I video myself reading it for my husband. As an adult, it's not one of the brainiest books out there, but it was still enjoyable.

This brings back memories. I like the story because it's scary. Rereading it again as an adult I find it kid friendly.

In the mid 90's the Goosebumps books were probably the most popular book series for kids (in a world who had yet to meet Harry Potter amazingly enough). I definitely remember thinking they were the end all beat all of children's lit. "Werewolf of Fever Swamp" was the first 'Goosebumps' title I ever read, and was the one I read again and again. It was my favorite, and to this day, as someone in their early 20's, it still holds a special place on my bookshelf.But what makes it good enough to care about years later? Having gotten nostalgic for the books (years ago I have up my cardboard box of over twenty Goosebumps books to a younger cousin, and will probably never see them again) I decided to treat myself to a copy of my favorite one. True, it only took me an hour to breeze through, and was certainly not the same read from when I was eight, but I was actually surprised at how well the story held up.What ultimately makes it work is the characterization. R.L Stine's kids always felt like kids, easy to relate to, and the "voice" of them, whether girl or boy, always sounded authentic. The stories were never *scary*, but definitely were creepy, and more often than not had a great sense of atmosphere and tension. The end was usually not what you saw coming, and yet managed to hold up over subsequent readings. Not all endings were happy, but were still a sly wink at the reader.So, though a quick, light read, "Werewolf of Fever Swamp" is fun, especially to read aloud to a younger brother or sister who doesn't see the end coming. There are plenty of other books and movies that are "too scary for children". Goosebumps are for them.

I mean, nobody knew*******was the werewolf! I was TOTALLY clueless who the werewolf was! I mean I thought it was******! I really did. Will really hid his clues from being the werewolf quite well. I mean who would have thought! No clues left behind! BRILLIANT STORY! Hope you make some more! THIS REVIEW BY MY 11 yr old daughter

I used to read this when I was in my pre teens and thru my teens and I'm going to try and introduce them at the workplace to see if the 21st century kids take to them. I would recommend these books for light, fun reading. The font is big. Parents, there are no pictures in these books. If you want illustrations, go buy a comic book! Highly recommended series.

Logan-9 year old , A/R challenge . It was scary, because Grady got bit on the shoulder , and he became a werewolf. He liked being a werewolf because he could hang out with his best friend wolf (his dog)

So great for young readers who maybe thought reading books wasn't cool or boring

There are no damages in the book. It's perfect as I wanted it to be. Worth every rupee 👍

10/10

Mantiene al lector emocionado, expectante y está escrito de forma sencillo. Obviamente es para un público infantil-juvenil pero para un no angloparlante esta muy bien para adquirir vocabulario y soltura en la lectura.

Don't know was for someone else
