Description
Mr Saur gave Greg an "F" on his oral report. He didn't believe the story of the camera and the pictures it took.
Quick Summary
Think of a camera that snaps a picture of your future, and then things get weird this sequel brings that creepy concept back with a fresh batch of goofy mishaps and spooky surprises. Kids who loved the original "Say Cheese and Die!" or any Goosebumps adventure will find plenty to like here: short, punchy chapters that move at a breakneck pace, a lot of classroom humor, and just enough spine-tingling moments to keep you on edge without being truly terrifying. The story follows Greg and his friends as they rediscover the cursed camera, try to prove it works for a skeptical teacher, and end up dealing with one ridiculous photo after another, all while navigating the usual school dramas. It's a great pick for reluctant readers who want something quick and funny, and parents will appreciate that the scares are mild and the humor is age-appropriate, with a few gross-out gags that kids tend to love. If you enjoyed "The Haunted Mask" or other light-hearted horror tales, this one fits right in.
