Description
Dr Maniac vs Robby Schwartz by R. L. Stine is Book 5 of the Goosebumps HorrorLand series, a fast-paced children's horror adventure where a comic-book supervillain suddenly becomes frighteningly real.
Robby Schwartz loves creating comic strips.
His favourite character is Dr Maniac, a crazed villain with a wicked grin, bizarre powers and a talent for causing chaos. Robby invented him to entertain himself and freak out his friends and family.
There's just one problem.
Dr Maniac isn't staying on the page.
When Robby's fictional villain appears in the real world, what began as a harmless comic-book creation turns into a dangerous confrontation. Dr Maniac has an appointment with Robby – and escaping from his own creation may be much harder than Robby ever imagined.
As the situation becomes increasingly strange and dangerous, Robby must find a way to survive long enough to discover why he has been drawn into something much bigger.
His adventure ultimately connects him to HorrorLand, the sinister amusement park at the centre of R. L. Stine's interconnected Goosebumps HorrorLand series.
Combining creepy supernatural events, comic-book action and the dark humour that made Goosebumps famous, Dr Maniac vs Robby Schwartz is an accessible horror adventure for middle grade readers who enjoy scares without losing the fun.
For readers searching for Goosebumps books in order, R. L. Stine books, children's horror, scary books for ages 8–12, supervillain stories or the complete Goosebumps HorrorLand series, Dr Maniac vs Robby Schwartz is the essential fifth adventure.
