About this book
Evan is stuck babysitting his prank-loving genius cousin, Kermit, who’d rather run wild experiments than play games. When the jokes go too far, Evan and his friend Andy reach for a familiar green slime that seems like the perfect payback. But Monster Blood never behaves, and soon the situation starts to grow out of control. Fast-paced, funny, and creepy, this Goosebumps hit hooks middle-grade readers who love jumpy scares and prank-fueled chaos.
Setting: modern-day suburban neighborhood, mostly in Kermit's basement lab and around town
