Last week I see the guy who wrote all my favorite books as I was learning to read is getting his books changed to be more woke (Roald Dahl). And now the guy who wrote the books I read right after that.
I’ve kept a lot of these books from my kids book fairs - I have so many old kids books from the 50’s/ 60’s/70’s and up til 1990’s -
Think I’ll hang on to them now - I have an old Merck veterinarian manual my dad gave me in the 1970’s ( my dad was an MD) and I still prefer it’s info over anything over vetMD - plus I’m old and know what a sick kid or animal looks like and when to seek outside ( medical) help
What I find telling is that Scholastic went behind Mr. Stine's back and made these changes without his permission or approval.
I know that Mr. Stine's 79 and probably deserve a blissful retirement, but I hope that he fights this to his grave, or do something to make sure his original works remain accessible without censorship.

So my guess is Gary Paulsen will be next.
But why don't we stop them? Surely, this small group of Wokesters don't hold all the power do they?
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time...
Me and the Grandkids always have a Goosebumps movie night for Halloween.
