Your aunt and uncle told you to stay out of their basement. So, of course, you check it out. That's where you find the dusty old refrigerator.

In the fridge there are two containers. One is filled with purple goop. It smells just like a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich. The other holds a piece of chocolate cake. Your stomach is growling.

If you eat the purple goop, you start shrinking. Pretty soon you're battling it out with a gigantic monster - a mouse! If you choose the cake, you grow into show more a tall giant. Now you're trying to escape the police, who are convinced you're a mutant alien!

The choice is yours in this scary Goosebumps adventure that's packed with over 20 super-spooky endings!

This is my partner's favourite GYG, or at least it was when viewed through the rose tinted glasses of childhood. We had a lot of fun doing it in bed together, but the actual choices, at least compared to CYOA, are sparse. The inconsistency of the main character's size, and the general story, gave us a lot of giggles, so I would still recommend this as the laziest date night possible.
This book was fun to read. You get to choose your own story so that gives you freedom and you can choose what you want. I don't really like the options they give you though. The story is really uninteresting, and the choices they give you aren't very exiting. It's a small book, but it can take a while to read. A part that I don't like it the pages are all over the place, so after you read one page, you will have to look for the page it tells you at the bottom of the page. They story is basically about a boy, which is yourself, going to your aunt's house. When you get there, you play hide and seek and you hide in the basement. You then become hungry and eat either purple goop or a chocolate cake. That will be the turning point of the show more story where you either grow really big, or really small. show less

In my way, I eat a rotten cake in the basement. My grandma and grandpa told me NOT to go to the basement but I ignore them. I turn into a giant because of the poisoned cake and before aI get stuck with 2 super annoying cousins - one of them being a big bully. The police chase me and. Then................. I am not telling you what is going to happen! Want to find out? Well, READ THE BOOK!
This book is about the boy who wants to go to the basement but his cousin doesn`t let him. When he goes secretly inside the basement, he sees a fridge that doesn`t have anything in it but chocolate cake and the purple stuff. When he eats a chocolate cake, he grows big and cannot get back to his normal size. When he eats the peanut butter, he gets attacked by a mouse. I would recommended to somebody.
I believe this could have been way better if there had been more thought put into it.
