R.L. Stine visits China

It seems that young readers in China like getting goosebumps. Published in the U.S. by Scholastic, R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps novels have sold more than five million copies in China since 2002, when Jieli Publishing House launched the series there. When that publisher invited Stine to China to meet his fans in person, the author happily accepted. Last month he spent two weeks touring five cities across the country, and at every stop received a welcome that was anything but chilling.
