Slime Doesn’t Pay!” By R.L. Stine 
 
📕 Edition: ARC ebook 
 
This one is true to Stine’s signature style of spooky middle-grade tales. In this quick and fun read, Stine masterfully tells a tale of sibling rivalry gone awry. 
 
Amy and Lissa's predicament with Amy's troublesome brother, Arnie, would be relatable to anyone with a mischievous sibling. 
 
As the plot unfolds, the girls' quest for revenge takes a supernatural turn when they concoct a bucket of blue slime to humiliate Arnie. What ensues is a rollercoaster of chills and thrills as Arnie transforms into a genuine monster. Stine's knack for blending humor with horror shines through, keeping you engaged and entertained. 
 
This one offers a perfect dose of middle grade horror and spooky fun, making it an ideal read for kids and fans alike of R.L. Stine's iconic storytelling. 
 
Thank you @NetGalley, @rl_stine1 and @blackstonepublishing for providing me with this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
