quote:
You have an even number of letters in your first name. You continue to duel with the mouse, thrusting your pin at it. You duck while the mouse tries to claw and bite you.
The mouse pauses for breath. It's just the break you need. You jab at the mouse, scratching it on the forearm.
With a squeak of pain, it turns to your again. It's really mad this time. It opens its mouth wide and snaps at you.
You rush to the other side of the cupboard, but the mouse follows. Your only hope is to try to escape through the mouse hole.
You dive for the hole. The mouse is right behind you. You feel your head go through. You see green grass beyond - and freedom! Now your shoulders squeeze through the hole - but then you become stuck. You can't go any farther forward. You try to wriggle back out, but it's no use.
The mouse is right behind you. You can feel its hot breath on your legs.
If only you could shrink, just a little more!
Unfortunately, there won't be time.
Too bad - looks like you lost this duel to the mouse. If you can't smile about it, try saying "cheese."

quote:
You figure the best thing to do is see a doctor.
But how will you find one? You check by the phone. That's where parents usually keep emergency phone numbers. And this is definitely an emergency.
You're in luck! There's a list posted on the wall. And right between the phone number for the police and the phone number for pizza delivery, there's a number for a Dr. Jenner.
You dial quickly. You try not to notice how far you have to stretch to reach the phone.
A woman's voice comes on the line. "Dr. Jenner's office."
"I have to see the doctor right away," you say.
"What's the problem?" the woman asks.
"I'm shrinking!" you blurt out.
There's dead silence on the other end of the line.
"Please! You have to help me," you beg. "My clothes are too big, I can't reach the phone, and my watch - "
"May I speak to an adult?" the woman breaks in.
You can tell she doesn't believe you. "No one is home," you explain. "And this is an emergency."
"The doctor is very busy," the woman says coldly. "And I don't have time for prank phone calls."
You slam down the phone in frustration.
quote:
You've got it! You'll find your aunt at the university. She can get you a doctor's appointment. Or maybe someone at the college will be able to help you. You race into the den. You search in your aunt's desk drawer for directions to the university.
Finally you find a bus map. There are two buses that seem to go to the university - the number 103 and the number 5. They leave from opposite ends of your block.
You don't know which bus is best. You don't want to wake up Barney and Dora to ask them. They've caused you enough trouble already.
You'll just have to guess.
Which bus will you take?
For the number 103 bus, race over to PAGE 103.
Or take the number 5 bus on PAGE 5.

103 is more than TWENTY TIMES better than 5, so take that.

quote:
You rush out of the house and make a right. But you have to stop for a minute. Pink spots appear before your eyes and your toes tingle. Once the weird feeling passes, you run down the street towards the number 103 bus stop.
When you hurry by your uncle's mailbox, you see it's now higher than your head. You've shrunk even more!
Just as you arrive at the bus stop, the 103 bus pulls up. You start to hop on board.
"Just a minute," says the bus driver. "How old are you?"
"I'm twelve," you reply.
The driver laughs. "Nice try. But no twelve-year-old could be so small. I'm afraid you're too young to ride the bus by yourself. Come back with one of your parents.
"But I have to go to the university!" you protest.
"Sorry," the bus driver says. "Rules are rules." He shuts the door in your face. Too bad. It looks as if you made the wrong choice. And this adventure is over.
But wait! You have one more chance. You can still try to track down the refrigerator and see if the jar of purple peanut butter is still inside. Hurry back to your uncle's house. That will be a safe place to come up with a plan!
quote:
Somehow, you have to get to the dump and find the refrigerator. It's your only hope. But how will you do it? It would take you weeks to walk. And you can't call a taxi - even if you could reach the phone, you're too small to dial.
There's only one answer. Somehow you must get help from your dear, disgusting cousins.
You head for the living room. Dora and Barney are sprawled on the floor, watching television.
"Dora! Barney!" you yell as loud as you can.
But it's no use. Your voice is too feeble to be heard.
You approach Dora and tug on her shoe. She doesn't even notice. She yawns and gets up. "This is boring," she announces. You're still holding on to her shoelace when she begins walking. You grab on tighter to keep from getting squashed.
She stops in the bathroom, and stands in front of the mirror. You glance up to see her reach into the medicine cabinet. She pulls out a small box.
You get an idea.
quote:
Dora reaches into the box an pulls out Aunt Fiona's eye makeup. Then she leans closer to the mirror.
You jump up and grab a large bath towel that's dangling from the towel rack next to the sink. You begin to climb it, using the rough threads for handholds.
You've nearly reached the sink when the towel starts to slip. Your weight is pulling it down!
Your only choice is to leap onto the sink. You barely make it. You hang on to the slippery porcelain by your fingertips. Then you pull yourself all the way onto the sink.
All this time Dora continues to put on makeup. Badly. She's now applying mascara. "Dora!" you yell.
She picks up a tube and pulls off the top. Then she starts to put on lipstick. She's smearing it all over her face.
"Dora!" you repeat. You try to get right under her and nearly trip over a toothbrush. As you regain your balance, one of your feet slides out from under you. You're skidding on a smear of toothpaste on the porcelain. Somehow, you keep from sliding off the edge of the sink.
Dora is still gazing at herself in the mirror.
This isn't working. You've got to do something more obvious.
quote:
Dora turns her head back and forth, admiring her reflection. You'd hate to be the one to tell her that she looks like a clown. You climb into the makeup box and wait. After a moment she reaches for an eye pencil. You grab onto the pencil. She'll have to pay attention to you now.
She picks up the pencil, then stops.
"AAACCCKKK!" she screams. "A gigantic, ugly bug!"
Before you can protest that you're not a bug, she shakes you off the pencil. You drop into the sink.
"Dora!" you cry.
But it's too late.
She's turned on the water.
The ice-cold water hits you. Like a waterfall, it pushes you down. You struggle against it, trying to breathe. You try to swim, but the current is too strong. And then you begin to spin, faster and faster.
You feel yourself being pulled down, down...
You open your eyes and see a huge silver circle approaching.
It's the drain.
You're about to be swept down the drain!
quote:
The water forces you down the drainpipe. You try to swim, but the current is too strong. You hold your breath as you swirl underwater. Just when you think your lungs are going to burst, you splash into a deep, dark pool.
You push your head above water. You suck in a deep breath of air. A big wave pushes you back under. The next thing you know, your body is whooshing along a long, curving pipe.
The water slows slightly and you come up for air. Then you're rushing through the pipes again. You gasp for breath.
SPLASH! The current lets you go. You're drifting in a big, broad, smelly river. You tread water and gaze around. The only light trickles in through tiny openings in the grates far overhead. Empty paper cups and bits of food float by you.
The whole river smells like rotten garbage. Slimy strings of filth wind around your arms and neck. Gross! You're in the sewer system!
You swim to one of the sides, but the banks are too steep and slimy to climb. You can't tread water forever. Already your arms are getting tired.
Then something familiar floats by.
If it's a Popsicle stick, go to PAGE 52.
If it's a blue plastic can with the words MONSTER BLOOD on it, turn to PAGE 11

quote:
You steer toward the quiet pond. The water seems thicker and dirtier here. Your Popsicle-stick boat moves slower and slower.
You approach the large brown insects.
And now you see them up close.
They're slimy, huge water bugs! They have long, waving antennae and fierce-looking jaws. They're about four times bigger than you. Even if you were your normal sixe, these bugs would be huge!
"EEEEEWWWWW!" you cry. You can't help it. You've always found water bugs disgusting. And now here they are all around you. It's your worst nightmare.
The big brown bugs climb up the walls and on the ceiling of the sewer. They swim in the water alongside you. They make hideous clacking noises. They're everywhere.
Now one of the bugs swims closer to you. Its long, slimy antennae reach out toward the Popsicle stick. Its disgusting, hairy legs paddle through the water.
The bug's beady black eyes focus on you. And now it's - oh, no! It's trying to climb up the Popsicle stick next to you!
GROSS!
quote:
The water bug tries to climb onto the stick. You notice that it has wings. Which gives you an idea.
An idea that makes you want to hurl.
You reach out and pat the water bug. Its body feels hard and slimy. It waves its antennae at you. It seems to like you.
Great. I've found a new friend, you think.
A friend who is so disgusting that now even Barney looks good!
You pat the huge brown bug again. Then you climb onto its back. It doesn't seem to mind. You grab hold of its antennae, and kick the bug in the sides as if you were riding a horse.
As you hoped, it spreads its wings.
The next moment, it's flying!
Up, up, up!
quote:
You've heard that water bugs sometimes fly, but you've never seen one do it.
And you hope you never will again.
For now, though, you realize you are lucky you found one that can. This is your chance to get out of the sewer.
But first, you've got to figure out some way to steer before you slide off the bug's slimy back. You grasp the left antenna and pull hard. The water bug turns left. You pull on the right antenna, and it turns right. The antennae work just like reins!
You steer the water bug along the sewer until you reach an overhead storm drain. You guide the insect up through the drain and out into the street.
Then you kick the bug in the sides. It begins to fly high, higher. Soon the town is far below. You scan the countryside. And then you see it - the Fiskeville dump.
You guide the water bug south toward the dump. The dump is huge. It stretches over several acres. How will you find the refrigerator?
The insect begins to fly faster as it approaches the dump. It dips low and skims a few feet above the dump. It's heading straight for a big mound of rotting garbage!
quote:
You roll yourself into a ball and brace for a hard landing. But you're so small now, and so light, that you float like a feather.
The next thing you know, you're standing in a dense jungle of grass. You notice disgusting smells - rotting food, moldy furniture, mildew, and decay. But you don't care. Somewhere out there is the refrigerator with the solution to your problem.
All you have to do is find it.
You begin trudging through the tall, tall grass. You reach the top of a hill. On one side of the hill is a gigantic pile of twisted metal forms. They appear in all different colors: blue, red, green, yellow. Many of them are covered with rust.
On the other side of the hill is a thick jungle of vines and weeds. You can't see what might be dumped among them.
You're trying to decide which way to go when you hear a strange, loud noise. It sounds like a HISSSSS!
You glance around, then gasp in shock.
Approaching you through the grass is... a dinosaur!
quote:
The dinosaur's long, gray body is covered with scales. It grips the ground with cruel-looking claws. Its narrow tongue flicks in and out of its wide mouth.
But it can't possibly be here! Dinosaurs became extinct millions of years ago.
Then you realize that it's not a dinosaur. It's a gray, striped lizard. But you're so small now, it might as well be Tyrannosaurus rex!
The lizard fixes its beady eyes on you. It flicks its tongue out again. Then it begins marching toward you.
It thinks you're its dinner!
Quick! Get out of here now!
Head for the pile of twisted metal on PAGE 99.
Or run for the jungle - PAGE 60.
