"It keeps growing...and growing..and growing..."

"My Hairiest Adventure" is about Larry who used a bottle of tanning lotion on his hands and hair starts to grow. One of his friends disappears, then he sees a dog with eyes that are 2 different colors, just like his missing friends. When he finally tells his parents, they explain that they couldn't have children, like many of the other people in the community, so their doctor developed a potion that he injected into dogs to turn them into kids. Now, Larry's immune system is fighting the potion and he is going to turn back into a dog, like his friends.I was addicted to these books when I was younger and it wasn't until I was majoring in education in college that I figured out why. They were interesting with bizarre plot twists that most 9-12 year olds don't think about and they were short (usually between 110-130 pages). I could read the whole thing in a day.My parents also didn't have a lot of heartache with buying me a new book because these are relatively inexpensive (in the neighborhood of 3-5 bucks each).R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" books aren't scary, just kind of creepy. There aren't graphic descriptions of murder and mayhem. Just some ghosts, werewolves, or potions. The main character is alive in the end, and the final chapter resolves everything.**Keep in mind, R.L. Stine has other books that aren't in the "Goosebumps" series that tend to be a little harsher when it comes to hauntings and plot. They are written more for the 12-14 age group and are longer (around 150-200 pages).

Cool!

Larry is a kid who has a band, and his friends call him "Hairy Larry". One day he finds a bottle of tanning lotion that is supposed to give the person who weres it a tan. The next day that not only does the lotion not work, but he also finds out that he is growing gross black hair! If you want to find out the rest, read it yourself.

My Hariest Adventure....:

TRUE, RL Stine shouldn't be idolised and reading the Bible's a *GREAT* idea!!! Though this may not be RL Stine's best book its still worth reading, it aint half as bad as these other ppl said it is!!! So the story goes, a 12yr boy named Larry and his band find an old bottle of Sun Tan lotion that claims to give you an instant tan. They all apply it and soon start sprouting course hairs. And they don't know why they tell their parents, but they wont believe them. Despite what the others said the ending is the best part and a wicked twist I might add!!! RL Stine never disapoints with the endings, except in some of his books...To find out the rest READ THE BOOK!!!God Bless ~Amy

This is a great book!!!

I am just reading this book. It is so good, It makes me want to read all day.
