A Night in Terror Tower

This was my 4th and final Goosebumps book for October, and I’m so glad I saved it for last.  I’ve been an Anglophile since I was very young, so I found the London setting incredibly enjoyable.  There’s an element of time-travel here, which is always fun, and the pacing is a pretty perfect speed for the intended age group; it’s fast, but easy to follow.  The entire tone of the book was madcap and a little wacky, reminding me strongly of an episode of Scooby-Doo.  While there were times I was annoyed with our main character siblings for not catching onto what was happening or making decisions I felt were the wrong ones, I found them more likable than some other Goosebumps protagonists.  All in all, this was just fun.  I really enjoyed my time with it.
