About

I loved reading Goosebumps books as a kid, and my favorite was Be Careful What You Wish For. I also loved the Give Yourself Goosebumps Series, which is like a choose your own adventure with that special tough of Goosebumps magic...So when I recently acquired some of my old favorites, I added a few changed of my own.

My favorite books are the ones with fortune tellers in them. R.L. Stine's fortune tellers are very mysterious, and you can't tell if they're good or bad.

Steps (8 steps, 45 minutes)

  1. 1

    First, I was feeling nostalgic for the old cover I remembered Be Careful What You Wish For in...so I looked it up online and printed it out, cutting with an xacto blade the window on the back cover.

  2. 2

    On the inside, I glued the original cover, as well as the picture I cut out from the back...I also added a little activity.

  3. 3

    For Welcome to Wicked Wax Museum, I decided to read it all the way and find the best possible course through the book and highlight it.

  4. 4

    I decorated the front page...

  5. 5

    Added some words from other scary books to add to the excitement...

  6. 6

    The story takes place in a wicked wax museum, so I added some real wax at critical points for an extra spooky effect.

  7. 7

    I also solved the puzzle, I think.

    Plus, I changed the ending a bit...
