quote:
You are strong enough - and smart enough - to resist the trance! When you are out of the troll's sight, you reach your fingers up to your ears - and pull out a SUPER-STRENGTH O from each ear!
"That's better," you say. "Now I can hear again." Plugging your ears with O's so you wouldn't hear the troll's whistle worked! Without his whistle, the troll is powerless. After your muscles disappeared, you plugged up your ears with the O's. Then you just pretended to obey his command.
"Come back!" Todd cries out again.
"That's exactly what I plan to do," you say softly to yourself. Quietly, you tiptoe back up the path to where the troll has just changed his size to mini-troll. He is perched on a branch of a low shrub. He speaks right into Todd's and Lauren's ears. "You will be in my absolute power forever," the troll says to his two captives. "With or without the O's, I can control your every move with my voice!" He puckers up his lips and prepares to whistle.
Lauren sees you sneaking up behind the troll. You put a finger to your lips and signal her to keep quiet.
quote:
In one quick motion you reach for the open SUPER-STRENGTH BOX. You throw it over the tiny troll. You stuff him in the box and close it tightly.
"Gotcha!" you cry triumphantly.
"No!" screams the troll from inside the box. "No! You can't do this to me! I am the Master of the Box! You'll be sorry. You will, you will! I'll get you for this!
Lauren and Todd laugh at the sight of the box jiggling around on the ground. The little troll inside is rocking it back and forth.
"No! No! No!" he screams again.
What in the world are you going to do with a jumping box of SUPER-STRENGTH O's and a mean little troll? Then the answer comes tramping through the bushes.
quote:
"Well, look who's here. Nerdo and his pals." Sharky Murphy sneers. "Still looking for that box of yours?" Sharky and his brothers push their way through the bushes.
"Hey, what's that other box over there?" Jess asks. He points to the rocking box, which is now bumping around even more.
"Nothing to worry about," you say as you reach into your pockets and pull out some SUPER-STRENGTH O's. "You boys hungry?"
Todd's looking at you like you're totally crazy!
"Care for a little midnight snack?" you offer nicely.
"Give me all of it!" Sharky snaps. He grabs the handout. "Here," he says, passing some O's to Buck and Jess. "It's free!"
As the Murphys chomp on the O's, the box jumps up and down. "No! No!" the troll shouts from inside the box.
Sharky leans down to pick up the jumping box. He puts his ear to it to listen. "What the...?" he starts to say, but a sudden growth spurt of gigantic muscles stops him.
quote:
"Hey, look at me! I'm strong!" Sharky cries.
"Me, too!" Buck exclaims. He pushes an enormous fist in Todd's face.
"Me three," Jess says, testing his new strength by lifting Todd up.
"HELP!" Todd screams high above Jess's head.
"Hey, Sharky," you call over to the biggest brother. "I give up. You win. You can have Todd and this jumping box."
"What!" Todd hollers. "You can't leave me with them!"
You toss Sharky the jumping box with the troll still inside.
Jess puts Todd down. He hurries over to Sharky and Buck. Sharky starts to open the box.
At that moment you catch Lauren and Todd's attention. You give them a let's-get-out-of-here look. Then the three of you make a run for it.
When you are far enough away, you glance back and see exactly what you were hoping you would see.
quote:
The troll jumps out of the box and immediately makes himself bigger again. He begins to whistle and shout at the Murphy brothers. They try to cover their ears, but the muscles on their arms are too huge. They can't lift their own arms to their ears.
"Hahahahahahahaha," the troll laughs. "Now you are my slaves! You will obey me! Where is the red tin box the others are looking for? Tell me now!"
You, Todd, and Lauren watch in disbelief as the Murphys' muscles start shrinking. When the muscles are gone, the Murphys themselves start shrinking, too.
"Where is the box?" the troll repeats. "Tell me now, before I reduce you down to nothing!"
In a voice much smaller than his usual voice, Sharky calls out the answer the troll is looking for.
"What did he say?" Todd asks you. "Where is my box?"
quote:
"I don't know where your box is," you answer Todd. "The troll has made Sharky so small now, I can't even hear his voice."
Smaller and smaller and smaller. Sharky, Jess, and Buck are shrinking right before your eyes.
"Yes!" the troll cries as he jumps around gleefully. "Now I have the information I need. The red tin box will be mine. I will be the master of another box in WoodsWorld."
You, Lauren, and Todd creep over toward the troll. You hide behind the bushes and watch. The troll is climbing a large maple tree. He quickly scales the trunk and scampers into the leafy branches.
"Aha! I found it!" the troll cries. "It's beautiful!"
"That's my box!" Todd whines.
"Ssssh," you whisper, gazing up at the tree. "I have a plan." You sneak over to the base of the tree. You grab hold of the trunk and shake. You shake the tree with all your might.
The troll hangs on to a branch. He swings back and forth. But Todd's red tin box falls to the ground. Todd snatches it up.
"Run!" you cry. You and your friends take off. "Run faster!" you shout, glancing back at the troll high in the tree. You head for your cabin at top speed, because you now know what goes up, must always come down in

No, I'm not destroying the book, no matter how much it deserves it.
Anyway, I don't think any option got a majority vote, and I am well past the point of giving a poo poo, so I'm just going to give the good ol' random number generator a spin...
...and it's 1, so we're going into the cave.
quote:
"Come on, Todd," you say. You reach over and hold onto his arm. "We're going in the cave. We're not going to let those Murphy brothers scare us, are we?
"We aren't?" gulps Todd. "I mean, no! We aren't!"
A thin beam of moonlight shines into the mouth of the cave. You can see that the floor is pure slime.
You take one step forward. Your feet fly up into the air. You land flat on your back and bring Todd down with you.
Then you and Todd start sliding faster and faster.
"WHOA-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A!" Your two voices blend into one. You squeeze your eyes shut. You feel as if you are sliding down the world's steepest water slide.
Down, down you go. Faster. Faster. You and Todd zoom down a slime-slicked tunnel in total darkness.
Just when you think your body can't take oen more second of this wild ride, it ends with a grand-slam BAM! You smash into a wet cave wall.
If you open your eyes now, go to PAGE 85.
If you can't bear to look, keep your eyes closed and try to turn to PAGE 7.

quote:
You keep your eyes closed. Your body relaxes. You start to feel so light, so calm, so...
You open your eyes wide. What happened?
The bump against the cave wall must have really knocked you and Todd out. Whatever happened after that is a mystery to you both. You don't know how long you were lying in that pool of slime in that cave.
You gaze around. You're out of the cave now and sitting propped up against a big tree. The light of the full moon is shining directly on you and Todd.
Todd sits with his back to you. You look down and shriek!
There are hairy, clawed hands where your hands should be!
Then Todd turns his face toward you and smiles a fanged smile. You open your mouth to scream, but the only sound coming out is a sound you've heard before...
HOW-OW-OW-OWL!
You remember Sharky's words: This is a perfect night for the werewolves of WoodsWorld to come out.
Sharky was right. No one is safe here. Not now. Not ever. The werewolves now have two new members of the pack - you and Todd. Break out the shaving cream. Things are looking pretty hairy now!

quote:
You and Todd hit the cave wall with a giant THUD.
You both open your eyes at the same time and see the same eerie sight.
Eyes! Hundreds, no thousands, of bright yellow eyes. Eyes on the ceiling, on the walls, on the floor.
"Bats!" Todd exclaims. He sounds more amazed than scared. "They won't hurt us. I studied all about them for a science report."
You're not so sure Todd's right. Two bats fly right by your face. Their yellow eyes whiz past you like shooting stars. The flapping of their webbed wings creates a breeze that sends chills down your spine.
You whip your head around to move out of the bats' flight path. As you duck down, you feel bat wings brush across your face. Their tiny claws catch in your hair. Then they fly away, yanking out small clumps of your hair as they go.
The bats surround you. You turn to find Todd. It's hard to see through the thousands of flapping black wings. Where is he?
quote:
Todd is standing next to you. He is just as surrounded by the beastly bats as you are. But Todd is acting is if they are butterflies instead of bats. He's even reaching out his hands to them!
A sudden gust of wind blows through the cave. The bats beat their wings furiously, which creates an instant whirlpool. The force pulls Todd backwards.
You can't believe your own eyes! Todd is being sucked into a tunnel - a tunnel filled with yellow bat eyes.
"Todd!" you scream.
"Bats! Bats! Everywhere, bats!" Todd yells, as you watch him being drawn deeper and deeper into the tunnel. "They're beautiful!"
You knew this kid was weird. Now what are you supposed to do?
Go down the Tunnel of Eyes after Todd? Or turn back and run for help?
The eyes have it, if you turn to PAGE 47.
When the going gets tough, the tough get going... for help! Turn to PAGE 19.

quote:
WHOOSH!
You step into the Tunnel of Waves. A sudden flood of icy water forces you forward through the tight-fitting tunnel.
"Todd!" you scream over the roar of the waves. "Todd! Are you in here? TODD!"
A disgusting smell of rotten eggs fills your nostrils. "Sulfur, yeecchh!" you say to yourself. You remember the same horrible smell coming from the old mill pond at home. You try not to breathe it in as you scream out one more time, "TODD!"
No answer.
You gasp for fresh air from somewhere, anywhere. Then you struggle against the pounding pressure. A wall of waves pushes you from behind.
It's no use. You stop fighting the waves. Instead you stretch your arms out over your head and go with the flow.
Water fills your ears, your eyes, your mouth. The enormous, crashing waves carry your body through the tunnel. There is no end in sight!
quote:
You're floating in a new tunnel now. You're sure of that. The feeling here is completely different. The tight grip of the waves in the Tunnel of Waves has loosened. You are floating on the surface of a calm, smooth body of water. The closeness of the tunnel's walls has given way to open air. Your eyes see nothing but blackness as you bob slowly up and down in the water. The sulfur smell is gone, replaced now by odorless air.
"I can breathe again!" you shout into the darkness.
"I can breathe again!" your own voice echoes back. "I can breathe again! I can breathe again1"
"Hello!" you cry, testing the echo again.
"Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!" your voice returns from the pitch-black nothingness all around you.
You are alone. The only sound is the sound of your own voice. And the sound of your own breathing... But wait! What's that other sound right next to your ear?
quote:
You thought you were alone, floating in the darkness. And you thought your own breathing was the only sound around. But now, right next to your ear, you hear other breathing. Air is being sucked in and blown out. Air in. Air out.
You strain your ears to listen better. You hold your own breath so you won't confuse it with this new sound.
Yes. It is breathing. Slow, even, steady, deep breathing.
Air in. Air out. Air in. Air out.
The rhythm is as regular as a sleeping giant's breathing.
But in the darkness you see nothing. Your eyes are no help to your ears now. All you can do is listen.
Air in. Air out. Air in. Your own breathing begins to join in the rhythm.
quote:
Air in. Air out. Air in. Air out.
With the next air in, your floating speeds up. You're no longer bobbing slowly up and down on a calm body of water. Now you are being towed by some force you cannot see.
"Help!" you scream.
"Help! Help!" your own voice echoes.
"Oh, it's no use," you cry.
"Oh, it's no use! Oh, it's no use!" the echo agrees with you.
In one final pull of the air force, you are sucked into another tunnel. A long narrow tunnel. You zoom through the tunnel and land in a dark pit. "Oh, no!" you sob.
But this time there is no echo.
There is only a loud BURP.
The Deep Woods Lake monster has just swallowed you whole! Sad to say, you're all washed up. For you, this story has come to...
