Interview: R. L. Stine, author of Don't Stay Up Late: A Fear Street Novel

Mar 24, 2015

Leave it to R.L. Stein --- who's been called the Stephen King of children's and young adult literature --- to turn a fun babysitting job into a thing of nail-biting terror. This is the premise of DON'T STAY UP LATE, Stein's first Fear Street novel in nearly 20 years, and believe us --- it contains just as much twisting, eerie surprises as the other books in the series. In the below interview, we talked to Stein about his new book, the reason he stepped away from his original genre of choice (humor) and what it's like to have Jack Black play him in an upcoming movie. See his answers, here!

Even though Teenreads.com is based in New York City, one of the best things about being a website is that we’re connected to people who love young adult literature from all over the world! We asked one of our readers --- Elise Andrew, a freshman at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia who wants to be a YA author, herself --- to tell us a bit about the current YA scene where she lives. Below, see what she and her former high school book club members are reading --- turns out U.S. choices and Australian choices aren’t so different!
