I first read some of the "Goosebumps" series last school year after many
of the kids were asking for them.  We have about 12 titles in our MC, and
they are never in, and have a long wait tlist on them.  The furor for
them has died down some since last spring, however.  The books are like
"Twilight Zone" for kids, the cover pictures are amuch scarier than the
content.  We do not have any of his "Fear Street" series in our MC.
