MFOB FEATURED BOOK: Lizard of Oz (Goosebumps: Most Wanted #10) (to be published September 2016)
When Kate Orton sees a pop-up ad on her computer for an amazing lizard from Australia, she has to have it. The ad says the lizard can change its color to blend in with its surroundings, and it can change its shape. Kate’s parents tell her not to be disappointed if it’s just a plain old lizard. After anxiously checking the mail every day for two weeks, the package finally arrives—but there’s no lizard inside. There’s only an egg with a written warning. Is Kate ready for what’s about to hatch?

And he hates being called Scrooge. But everything starts to change when three ghosts visit him. At first, he thinks it’s a dream. But then he realizes that it might be a nightmare.
