Mark has always been obsessed with the jungle, so he thinks it's great that he finally gets to visit it. When he arrives, however, he discovers that his aunts' friends are actually enemies, and he has to use "jungle magic" to save the day. Mark gets a souvenir of his trip, however- the shrunken

head.

Goosebumps. This is the series that kept me reading through my childhood. More than any other series, Goosebumps kept me interested in reading, and R.L. Stein is a wonderful children's writer. I applaud his efforts, and can't express enough my gratitude for the series.

#39 "Heads up!"
Mark's aunt Benna just sent him a present from the tropical jungles of Baladora. A present that reminds him of one of his favorite video games. A shrunken head! But this isn't any normal shrunken head. This one has strange jungle magic inside it. Can Mark learn how to use the strange

magic and save the island and his aunt?

Young Mark hasn't seen his aunt in years as she's a scientist conducting research deep in a far away jungle. So it's a surprise when a woman who works with Aunt Benna shows up at Mark's house with a shrunken head sent to Mark as a gift and an offer from his aunt to come visit her in the jungle.

What Mark finds in the jungle is a situation that is nothing like what the mysterious woman told his mother. For one thing, Aunt Benna has been missing for weeks, and the other adults seem to be lying to Mark. Also, the shrunken head isn't just a gruesome ornament.
