In the Lehigh Valley-area, “Goosebumps” books are widely available in classrooms and school libraries. Liebow said all of the challenges to the series concluded similarly. The school district concluded the books are age-appropriate, help build fluency in reading and attract reluctant readers. The mother said they were too frightening for children and inappropriate for schools. One case that gained national attention concluded last month when a suburban Minnesota school district rejected a mother’s request that “Goosebumps” books be pulled from the elementary school library. People are really concerned about these particular books.” Stine doesn’t even write these books and that he’s a child molester. “On our list is the “Adventures of Huck Finn” and “Catcher in the Rye” and nobody says they are bad books,” said Liebow. While Scholastic reports sales have leveled off, many fans are hooked and read nothing but. Stine pens one story a month and has a contract to do more than 100. There are 180 million “Goosebumps” books in print.
