Monster Vision (Fiendly Corners Series, 1)

When a mixed-up mail delivery causes twelve-year-old Jamie to put in contact lenses belonging to a dead magician, his eyeless ghost appears to demand them back

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-7. Many years ago, a large meteorite struck the original settlers of Friendly Corners, destroying everything in its path and leaving behind a deep hole surrounded by a circle of boulders. The area is supposedly haunted by the people who died in the crash; these ghosts are rumored to speak to the living through the stones and are said to be responsible for strange occurrences, making Friendly Corners a fiendly town. Thus the setting and focal point for each of the four titles in this new horror series. Each story centers around lively characters experiencing some form of scary encounter?a magician's ghost in Monster Vision, an abominable snowman in Nasty the Snowman, a zombie in Pizza Zombies, and a werewolf in Revenge of the Hairy Horror. Enticing beginnings lead to adventures with just the right amounts of suspense and fright culminating in satisfying endings. A few cliffhangers are thrown in. This series has appeal for reluctant readers, and fans of R. L. Stine's "Goosebumps" (Scholastic) will enjoy this refreshing change.?Cheryl Cufari, Glencliff Elementary School, Niskayuna, NYCopyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
