by Robert Lawrence Stine

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY AND YOU CAN SCREAM IF YOU WANT TO! Your parents have to work on your birthday, but don’t worry—they've hired some guy to create a special "horror birthday party" for you. Uhh... can you say "lame"? They must have forgotten you're turning twelve, not two! But then Dr. MacDeath arrives and twists your friend into a live balloon animal! Now you have two choices: open your presents or play party games. If you open presents, you could be the proud owner of a vicious wolf! If you decide to play paintball, you end up dodging paint capsules—filled with acid! The choice is yours in this scary GOOSEBUMPS adventure that's packed with over 20 super-spooky endings!
