Question by Pineapplegurrrl: I need the name of this book. I remember a lot of details, so it should be easy?

Basically I read this book waaay back in fourth grade (or maybe third, I can’t remember, but I think it was fourth). Anyway, in the book, there was this girl (whose name I cannot remember) and this boy, whose name was Beamer–I remember this because I remember the girl asking him, “Like the car, BMW?”
Anyway, so there is this really famous author who writes these amazing mystery/scary books. But lately, everyone who reads the books starts to act strangely. In one book, something happens with gummy worms, one made them all act really weird, like start to convulse and stuff (I think).
So the girl and guy head out to Pennsylvania, where they search for the author of the books. They have a weird encounter at the pool, and again it was the effects of the books, and I remember it had something to do with ghosts. When they finally got to the house, the girl and guy discovered, from the author, that she was using mind control and basically, in her newest book, when the readers get to a certain page or sentence, something happens and they can’t read anymore, and their minds will be taken over (or something like that). Eventually, though, the girl and guy win and everyone is saved.
I think the title was something like, “The Mysterious Case of R.M. Stein” or something like that. I know that the word mysterious was in the title, and I know that the author’s name was something with Stein at the end, maybe R.M. Stein. But I know that the author’s name was R.M. Stein.
I know this book sounds cheesy, but it was actually pretty good. And I have no idea where to find it or what it’s called. Can someone please help me out? Best answer and 10 points to the person who helps me find it first!
Sorry, I meant the author’s name was something with Stein at the end, not exactly R.M. Stein.
No, it wasn’t the Goosebumps series. I would remember if it was Goosebumps.
No, it was not R.L. Stine! I just said it wasn’t Goosebumps or anything like it. It had the name Stein in the title!

  1. Do you mean R.L. Stine? He writes mysteries and horror for about that grade level. I’d suggest looking at Amazon.com under his name to see if anything looks familiar. He has several series of books.

  2. i found it!!! its called the mysterious matter of I.M fine by diane stanley, here is a website with the blurb:
