Evan decides to take Trigger for a walk. Out in the neighborhood, he meets a girl his age named Andrea , who likes to be called Andy. She needs to buy a present for her cousin and invites Evan to town with her to show him around. There, Evan finds a tin can of Monster Blood. The can's labeling markets it as a miracle substance.
When Evan tries to purchase the can, he is discouraged from doing so by the shopkeeper, but Evan insists on buying the substance anyways. Evan and Andy take the can back to Kathryn's house. Kathryn grabs the new toy, reads the label, and mutters something Evan can't hear. Then, she hands it back to Evan and whispers, "Be careful. Evan and Andy go up to Evan's bedroom and open the Monster Blood.
They find it cool to the touch. The substance glows in the dark, stretches, and bounces. Soon after playing with it, they realize that Monster Blood stains the walls and floors, so they take it outside.
The Monster Blood and Trigger double in size each day. Trigger grows the size of a pony. The Monster Blood outgrows each container Evan puts it in. What's more, the formerly cold substance is now warm to the touch, bubbles, and breathes. The Monster Blood is alive. Evan runs into troubles with some neighborhood bullies: Rick and Tony Beymer, twins who Andy describes as "out of control. Evan visits Andy one evening to get her to take some of the Monster Blood because it's grown so much he can't keep it all, and on his way home, the Beymer twins punch him in the stomach and face.
Evan has bigger troubles, however: the Monster Blood is growing out of control. Evan returns home and puts the Monster Blood in an old tub in his great-aunt's basement. While down there, Sarabeth, the cat, pounces on Evan from behind, pushing him into the tub. The Monster Blood sucks and pulls on him but he eventually is able to free himself. The next morning, he tries to tell his aunt Kathryn about the Monster Blood by writing her a note, but she laughs at him out loud, and then whispers, "I told you to be careful.
Evan and Andy try to take the Monster Blood back to the store, but find that it has gone out of business and has closed permanently. They return to Kathryn's home and put the Monster Blood in a trashcan with a latch. Kathryn comes out of the house and tells Evan that his mother has sent a telegram and will pick him up that afternoon. In excitement, Evan runs to Trigger and finds that the dog has doubled in size again. When he opens Trigger's pen, Trigger runs out and down the street.

Not everyone deals with a Worm at breakfast time, but athlete and inventor Matt Daniels gets a visit from one every morning. Worm is actually the neighbor kid, Bradley Wormser, known far and wide as "Worm" for good reason.
He's also a mooch, who eats up everything left on the breakfast table. Bradley will go to any lengths to get food, including dropping a dead fly into someone else's cereal …and then eating the cereal he spits the fly out! Pretty disturbing, to say the least. So it's not like Matt can ever get rid of him.
One morning, Bradley is being particularly annoying. He pulls a can out of his backpack, daring Matt to open it. It's so bad that it nauseates both Matt and his sister, Livvy. About The Author.
