"Shark Night" is a whirlwind of a novel. From the opening of the book, you're left wondering exactly where this story is going to go, and I can confidently say that I did not anticipate this to be as chaotic as it was. It was highly entertaining, which I know that many younger audiences will absolutely eat up. It can be a bit confusing at times if you're not paying close attention, since the middle portion of the book is chock-full of action and adventure. Stine is known for crafting imaginative and bone-chilling stories, with the latter not being quite what this novel was, but it was thrilling nonetheless.

When I think of R.L. Stine, I think of the supernatural. Considering our old copies of goosebumps from the 90s still fly off the shelves, I know my students like scary. However, there are groups of students at my school who want scary stories without the supernatural.

I always struggle to help them find this because most scary stories that are elementary appropriate end up using the supernatural to be scary.

The use of a shark and the twist of events that are eventually explained is genius and makes my job easier!

I am excited to add this to my library; I don't think it will stay on the shelves!

Thank you to Blackstone Publishing and Net Galley for the eARC! All opinions are my own and are influenced by my work as an elementary school librarian.

This is cute and fun but not Stine’s best work. This and a lot of his recent stuff is more of a kids adventure novel than kids horror, and I wish he would get back to what he does best because he’s so uniquely good at it.

Still, it’s a fun and clever story and while I didn’t love the goofy reality tv part of the plot, it’s a solidly plotted adventure.

The end is really, really predictable (another thing Stine usually does a far better job at), but I loved the kids’ misadventures at the hotel, and my kids still enjoyed the story even if it wasn’t their favorite of his work either.

I read this book with my 13-year-old son and we both loved it! I love that it's something that we can read together when i grew up reading Goosebumps and i am happy to see that theres new series starting!
