quote:
Whew! You win. Your coin stopped just short of the edge.
You breathe a sigh of relief. You yank Stinko away from the edge. The tent reappears.
Huh? How?
You don’t care how it happened. You crawl inside, dragging Stinko in with you. Anywhere is better than Nowhere!
You stand up. The tent’s walls and ceiling vanish!
“Where are we now?” Stinko asks.
“I don’t know,” you murmur, gazing around.
You’re standing on a slab of slate. It’s one of many slabs forming a path through endless white sand. The pure white sand blankets the ground as far as your eye can see.
A burning ball of fire shines brightly overhead. Stinko wipes sweat from his forehead. “Are we at the beach?” he asks.
It’s more like a desert! A broiling wave of heat hits your face. You gaze out toward distant dunes and squint your eyes.
You struggle to focus on something too strange to be real.
In the middle of the heat, you feel a chill.
Am I really seeing that? you wonder.
Or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
quote:
“A sand monster!” Stinko cries.
So Stinko sees it too. It’s real.
A monstrous blob is rising out of the sand. It rolls toward you like a sandstorm.
As the creature comes nearer, you notice a black hole in its shapeless center. Sand is sucked into the hole with the force of a cyclone wind. Anything in the Sand Blob’s path is sure to be drawn into that giant black hole.
“We’ve got to get out of here!” you shout.
But Stinko is too terrified. He throws himself down on the slate slab and covers his head with his arms.
You yank at his shirt. “Come on!” you insist. “Get up!”
Stinko suddenly sits up, feeling the slab with his fingers. “There’s writing on this,” he exclaims. “Look!”
Stinko’s right! There are letters carved into it! “Roll the dice to make your next move,” you read aloud.
A pair of dice appear at your feet.
“It’s another game,” you whisper. “A game of chance!”
Feeling lucky? Roll a pair of dice to find your next move.
If you roll an even number, go to PAGE 86.
If you roll an odd number, go to PAGE 13.

Losing on the very first turn of a game is no fun for anyone, so I don't think Dare will mind too much if we take a mulligan on that roll.
quote:
You roll an even number on the dice.
Before you can even ask what comes next, a deafening roar fills your ears. Hot wind whips around you. A cyclone funnel like the tattoo on Dare’s shoulder sucks you forward. You and Stinko bounce onto the next slab, and the next, and the next.
“Help!” Stinko cries over the roaring wind. “It’s got me!”
You watch helplessly as your little brother is towed away by an invisible force. Hot sand stings your eyes. You rub the grit away and focus on what is vacuuming up you and Stinko.
“It’s the Sand Blob!” you scream to Stinko. “Fight it!”
The black hole in the Sand Blob is sucking in everything in its path. Slabs of slate fly over your head. Whole sand dunes whisk by you. Your skin burns as grains of sand sting you on their way into the black hole.
You wonder if you could tunnel down into the sand. You might escape from the Sand Blob that way.
Then you think: Or maybe...
Maybe the Sand Blob will take us out of here. Take us someplace better.
If you think the Sand Blob may be a way out of this awful desert, let it suck you over to PAGE 110.
If you quickly dig a hole to escape, turn to PAGE 90.
Jump into a black hole, or hide in a hole and hope gravity doesn't notice us? Stine isn't giving us many good options today.

quote:
You decide to let the Sand Blob suck you up. Wherever you end up has got to be better than this awful desert!
You stop resisting. You and Stinko fly forward with the raging sand and wind.
“The Sand Blob is swallowing us!” Stinko shrieks.
You’re sucked into the Sand Blob. The roaring stops. The black hole closes behind you. You are in total darkness now.
“It’s squashing me!” Stinko moans.
You know exactly what he means. The blackness presses in all around you. You can practically feel it. It’s like walls, pushing you down... flattening you...
“I’m sorry,” you tell Stinko. “I guess we lose this time. The Sand Blob got us in
THE
“Not so fast!” a familiar deep voice calls out. “Turn to PAGE 102!”
quote:
“Not so fast!” Dare’s voice repeats. “You’re not out of the game yet!”
A grating noise makes your teeth ache. Then daylight suddenly streams into your eyes. You peer up. Dare stands over you, grinning. He’s holding a wooden box top in his hands.
“What the...?” you sputter, sitting up and rubbing your eyes. You gaze around.
Hey! You’re not in a black hole at all.
You’re inside the box that was in the middle of the tattooed tent! You recognize those tattooed walls.
You’re back where you started!
quote:
“You’re sitting on me,” Stinko complains, shoving you with his elbow. “What’s going on? Let me out!”
He scrambles over the side of the box. You follow him.
The moment you stand up, you wish you hadn’t.
You feel woozy. The moving tattoos on the tent walls are making your head ache.
“I’m going to give you a second chance,” Dare tells you.
Then he swirls his tattooed cape around his body – and melts into the walls!
Where did he go? you wonder. You rub your eyes and try to steady yourself. Everything feels familiar. It’s as if you’ve done all this before.
But you can’t remember where. Or when.
In fact, the harder you try, the less you can remember!
Gazing around, you spot an opening in the wall of the tent.
Hmm. Maybe you should try to get out of this place.
Or have you already done that?
You aren’t sure. But something tells you you should get moving.
This takes us straight back to the Edge of Nowhere game. Presumably Dare didn't think we'd be stupid enough to actually jump headfirst into a black hole, so he's going to just turn back the clock and pretend that little mishap never happened.

Sorry for the long delay, but I somehow managed to catch pneumonia and I've been laid up in bed for pretty much all of the last two weeks. Now that I'm mostly back to full health, let's finally get around to digging that hole!
quote:
You dig a hole and drag Stinko into it with you. You burrow down as deep as you can.
The Sand Blob roars over the hole. Brrr! That wind is not hot – it’s freezing! You and Stinko huddle together.
Then – silence. The Blob is gone.
The hot ball of fire in the sky disappears.
A cool blue moon takes its place in a black sky.
You climb out of the hole and gaze around. The sand and the slate slabs have turned to ice! You take another step, and your ankles wobble. Your feet feel too heavy to lift.
“Ice skates!” Stinko exclaims behind you. “We’re wearing ice skates! How did that happen?”
“I don’t know,” you admit. “But it’s lucky we both know how to skate!”
You glide forward. Stinko follows you. Then he taps you. “You’re it!” he yells, and skates away.
“Oh, no, you don’t!” You laugh as you whiz by him. After all that terror, it feels good to kid around. “So long, Stinko!” you call back to him.
You skate right into Dare’s tattooed arms!
Oops!
quote:
“Let me go!” you scream. You wrestle to break Dare’s grip on your arm. But he clutches you tightly.
“Welcome back,” Dare says.
Stinko skates by. Dare snags him too. “You’ve made it to another level,” he remarks. “Time for the next game. And this game is very cool. Freezing, in fact!”
Dare reaches under his cape and pulls out a silver spray gun. On the barrel it says: INSTANT ICE MAKER.
Before you can protest, he takes aim and sprays Stinko. Stinko instantly freezes.
He’s an ice statue!
“Stinko!” you cry.
Dare turns the ice gun on you.
quote:
“No way!” you yell. You grab for the Instant Ice Maker. Your fingers wrap around the barrel.
“Back off!” Dare shouts.
You and Dare struggle with the spray gun. You point it at his face and squeeze the trigger.
Pssssssst! “You braaa...!” Dare shrieks as his mouth begins to freeze.
You spray him again. But before he freezes solid, he twists the gun around.
Psssssst! He got you! All three of you are frozen stiff.
But who’s the coolest of all?
Good question. Why guess when you can find out for sure?
Take three ice cubes and three small glasses filled with hot water. Glass #1 is Stinko. Glass #2 is Dare. Glass #3 is you.
Drop a cube of ice into each glass at the same time. Which melts first?
If the Stinko ice melts first, turn to PAGE 15.
If the Dare ice melts first, turn to PAGE 108.
If your ice melts first, turn to PAGE 59.

quote:
The Dare ice melts first.
“Aha!” Dare cheers. “I win the Cool Contest. And that was just a warm-up!”
What now? you wonder.
Dare turns his back to you and spreads his cape open like butterfly wings. A fire-breathing dragon tattoo on the cape spits out a blowtorch blast of flames. The thick coat of ice on you and Stinko melts instantly.
Oh, no! The ice beneath your feet also thaws. You and Stinko are suddenly neck deep in freezing, swirling water!
You dog-paddle furiously. You strain to keep your head above the water.
A large stone castle looms over you. You realize you’re in a moat circling the castle. Your gaze rises up... and up.
It lands on Dare, high in a turret.
“Look at that!” Stinko whimpers behind you.
You turn in the cold water.
Whoa! A giant dragon hovers at the edge of the ice. You recognize it as the dragon tattoo from Dare’s cape!
Somehow, it slid off the cape and into real life!
And it’s getting ready to blast you again!
quote:
“Swim, Stinko!” you yell.
But Stinko is too scared to move. He holds onto your leg. He’s dragging you down into the freezing water. If you don’t start swimming, you’ll go under!
You stretch both arms forward in your best butterfly stroke to escape the fiery breath of the dragon. You’re in luck! A low drawbridge spans the moat in front of you.
You reach for the side of it. The bridge rises slowly, carrying you and Stinko with it.
Then the drawbridge stops midway. The dragon shoots fire, just missing Stinko’s feet.
“Aahhhhh!” Stinko screams as he dangles from your ankles.
Your arm muscles are stretched to the limit. You don’t think you can hold on much longer.
“I’m waiting for you!” Dare calls down.
The dragon breathes fire again. The flames lick at your legs. Yeoww! That’s hot!
You could try to pull yourself up and out of its way. Or you could drop to cool the fire in the moat below.
If you try to pull yourself and Stinko onto the bridge, go to PAGE 126.
If you drop back into the moat, go to PAGE 89.
I'm not sure if Dare forgot what he said about making us work for KidScare forever if we lost a single game, or if the ice thing didn't technically count as a game because he didn't plan to get frozen along with us.
