Stay Out of the Basement (Goosebumps #2)
Introducing my daughter to the wonderful world of horror. She loved it. l have always wanted to read these books. Now I have perfect excuse. Great fun.
The second book in the Goosebumps series, Stay Out Of The Basement, did not disappoint! What started out slightly slow picked up in a couple of chapters. On the surface this book is about a father who was recently been fired from his job, his obsession with making a scientific breakthrough, his descent into madness, and the two children suffering to learn their father's secrets. Stay Out Of The Basement is a brilliant combination of a story where Poison Ivy meets Frankenstein meets Little
2.5 starsI only reread this one because I mean serious business about doing a full series reread of the "original" Goosebumps titles (where does that even end, though, I wonder? yet TBD), but I distinctly remembered reading this installment once and only once as a kid because I disliked it so much. I just think it's incredibly boring and apparently, that feeling hasn't changed in the 20-ish years since I first read it.
Reread from childhood. It's cute. I remember it not being very scary as a kid, and of course it's less so now. It was still fun.
Margaret's father may be a botanist, but what he's doing in the basement suggests he may be a mad scientist. A tall, treelike plant sighed and appeared to bend toward them, raising its tendrils as if beckoning to them, calling them back. This book is undeniably kitschy, and then - BOOM! - the author drops some serious science into the mix: DNA, genome mapping, reproductive isolation, genetic modification and transgenics. These topics are explored in simpler terms, but they're nonetheless
I remember watching this when I was a kid, don't think I read it though. Margaret and Casey's dad has been fired from his job, he's a scientist. Since he's been fired he's been working very hard in the basement on his plant experiments....plant and human DNA gets mixed together with scary results. I loved the kids being kids, being told not to go in the basement and what they do? Go in the basement. It's too tempting! Also how they miss their father, he used to spend some time with them but now

Narration During Books Stay Out of the Basement (Goosebumps #2)
Dr. Brewer is doing a little plant-testing in his basement. Nothing to worry about. Harmless, he says. But Margaret and Casey Brewer are worried about their father. Especially when they...meet...some of the plants he is growing down there. Then they notice that their father is developing plant like tendencies. In fact, he is becoming distinctly weedy-and seedy. Is it just part of Dr. Brewer's 'harmless' experiment? Or does Dad have more than just a green thumb...?Specify Books Toward Stay Out of the Basement (Goosebumps #2)
