This book was bought with my own money.
SUMMARY:
Dad made his way to the breakfast table. He looked me up and down. And he had the same expression on his face that Mom had. He was staring at me as if he had never seen me before. Mom and Dad began whispering to each other. I excused myself and ran up the stairs to my room. My brain cells were whirring with all sorts of crazy thoughts. I didn't know what was going on. But I knew one thing for sure. Those two people downstairs were NOT my parents!
REVIEW:
I absolutely love R.L. Stine. I always have. And even his short little kids books are not disappointing in my opinion.
I was excited when I pulled this book out of a box of what seemed like a million books that we had stored in our shed. I had no idea that it was there, but apparently my husband had been holding out on me.
This book reminded of Invasion of The Body Snatchers, if there were a kids version. And as it seemed, there was even a reference to the movie in My Alien Parents.
It was a very short book, but it still had the classic R.L. Stine twist at the end that you weren't expecting. Very reminiscent of the Goosebumps series.
I loved it!

NOT TOO BAD!
Ha! This is a real blast from the past. I haven't read an RL Stine book in ages. My sister-in-law and I were at Value Village the other day and she said she was thinking of collecting the Goosebumps books for my nephew. I wonder if I'd find them as scary now as an adult, as I did when I was kid...hmmm...I'm kind of a wuss for scary stuff, so maybe! lol
