I’m actually kind of curious about this because I always thought I was up to date on these as a kid but I distinctly remember reading this one WAY before Attack of the Mutant.

Oh well.

This cover actually scared me as a kid honestly, but I can’t remember finishing it.

And I feel like I definitely would have remembered finishing it because this is probably the dumbest entry so far.

It’s another body swap book where kids become dogs and then do… ugh. Just the most idiotic things in the world.

One of them is like “I have to tell my parents what happened but I can’t talk. Because I’m a dog.

“I know! I’LL WRITE THEM A LETTER.”

Bro, I don’t know how to break this to you, so I’ll do it as gently as possible:

You are a DOOOOOGGGGGG!

Sure enough he tries to grab a pen and uh-oh! No thumbs! That’ll throw a wrench in the ol’ letter-writing works!

But that’s this whole book. Dumb idea after dumb idea and when the end comes you hope whatever head injury Stine suffered while writing this has worn off and that maybe the next book will be better.

Also, as an adult I think what I was scared of with the cover were the eyes because the way too-small mouth never got me. That thing killing you would be a logical challenge - at least for long enough to make your escape.

NEXT!
