You Can't Scare Me! by R.L Stine

Eddie is afraid of things and Courtney trys to scare him and make him look like a total wimp in front of everyone he knows.But Eddie wants to pay her back he and his friends try everything but Courtney just makes them get in trouble.Then Eddie has a perfect plan because now he knows that Courtney believes in a rumor that has been going on for years about the mud monsters that live in Muddy Creek but when they go there it's not good that Eddie doesn't believe in them because it could be a fact...

What I like about the story is that it is like it is telling you that monsters could of lived many many many years ago and monsters could be living now.This story is like How to kill a Monster and Stay Out Of The Basement.You will like this if you like monster stories and monster legends.
