Hunter Bird, 11, reads "Mostly Ghostly," which had just been signed by author R.L. Stein, at the 13th Annual St. Petersburg Times Festival of Reading at USF, Saturday. "I've read practically all his 'Goosebumps' [book series]," he says. Bird came to the event from New Port Richie with his mother and grandmother, who lives in St. Petersburg.
