ISBN 059045370X - Maybe because it's an early volume this is, in my opinion, one of Stine's better books. Later in the series, many stories just got a little too silly. Max has a dog named Whitey, a left-handed brother nicknamed Lefty and a few friends. Pretty standard kid, average life. Until his birthday party, when boredom prompted the kids to investigate the attic and Whitey found a hidden door. Behind the door is a small room that holds just a mirror - but it's not like any mirror you own! Attached to the top of the mirror is a small light and when it's turned on, the person in front of the mirror becomes invisible. For the kids, it's something different to play around with and it doesn't SEEM dangerous. The only flaw Max finds is that, after being invisible for a while, he feels lightheaded and it takes longer for him to become visible again when the light is turned off. He's not sure why that is, but he's going to find out - and he's not going to like it. If he's around that long! Not scary-scary, but a little creepy-scary. Makes you look at mirrors a little differently for a day or so. :-) I have yet to come across a Goosebumps title that refers back to an older story, but I couldn't help but think that Max's grandparents have a story that ought to be told - and I hope Stine tells it someday. - AnnaLovesBooks

On his 12th birthday, Max, two of his friends(Erin and April) and his younger brother Lefty discover a mirror hidden away in the attiac. While inspecting the mirror, they discover a lightbulb with a chain hanging from the mirror. When Max pulls the chain he becomes invisible. When he turns the light off he reappers. The next time they inspect the mirror one of Max's other friends Zack joins them and they start a competion with whoever can stay invisible the longest. The strange thing is though, that during the last few minutes, they all feel like the light is pulling them towards the mirror. Then during the competion Max starts noticing that his friends look different but he can't tell how they look different. What deadly secrets does the mirror hold. Turning invisible is just a game right? What can go wrong?
