They owe it to their nephew to make it clear that they are there for him no matter what his parents are going through but their daughter should also be a major priority for them instead of constantly brushing off her concerns, punishing her for things that are clearly not her fault, and only ever telling her to be the adult about her interactions with her cousin. I get that this is his only option but these parents owe it to their daughter to sit her down and give her an adult talk about why this has to happen and assure her they won't let any harm come to her.
I would understand this except that Ethan has physically hurt both Brittany and her best friend Molly before, giving them bruises and making them bleed every time he's previously visited. But Brittany's parents are apparently the only ones who can take him in and all they tell her is that she has to be the adult between the two of them. I couldn't even figure out an undertone of why they had left.
I understand that Ethan is in need of a place to stay but the only reason we're given is that his parents have gone away for awhile and don't know when they'll be back. However, this time around it was bordering on emotional abuse.
It was Ethan using the unawakened Slappy doll for pranks until the very end.Īs almost always in Goosebumps books the parents are frustrating. And Slappy wasn't even the actual antagonist until the last few chapters of that first part. The first and majority part of this book didn't take place in Horrorland and, while I understand the importance of setting up the plot, I felt it took a little too long. So I'm going to give the next book a shot in hopes it's more.
