[edit] Plot

Evan's annoying little cousin Kermit is getting on his nerves, always conducting strange experiments that usually get Evan in trouble. Evan decides to strike back by sticking a bit of Monster Blood in one of Kermit's mixtures. The mixture grows larger but then bursts, flying around the room. Evan accidentally swallows some and soon begins to grow bigger and bigger, almost ending up trapped in the basement. He narrowly escapes, and stops growing when he is several stories high. His clothes also grew with him, since they were splashed with some of the monster blood. After several unintentional accidents, the police and fire department hound the enormous Evan, believing he is an alien. Fortunately, Kermit quickly invents a compound which will make him shrink. Evan reverts to normal size, but the book ends on a cliffhanger, in which Evan has shrunk too far, down to minuscule proportions.
