This book plays out in a disturbing fashion, but then loses its nerve at the end. Everything turns out to be okay and I would have liked it better if it hadn't. However, it is the rare Goosebumps book where I felt like the main character had a good relationship with his sister. Often in these books, the sister is just a nuisance or comedy relief. She is snarky in this book too, but there was a mutual respect I could appreciate.
