Get goose bumps? Like to laugh? Meet R. L. Stine. The man who popularized scary books for children, and is pretty much credited for bringing boys back to books by creating a series called Goosebumps, introduces a new, humorous series titled Rotten School.
Although his plots seem believable to his readers, Stine insists he has never lived one of his stories: "I've never turned into a bee—I've never been chased by a mummy or met a ghost. But many of the ideas in my books are suggested by real life. For example, one Halloween my son, Matt, put a mask on and then had trouble pulling it off. That gave me the idea for The Haunted Mask."
During the program, this joke writer, magazine editor, and storyteller of scary stories explains how he plans for a series of stories, how he establishes the role of character and plot, and how he gets words to tickle readers. sources in the classroom.
