1 The Glob

Stink and the Attack of the Slime Mold Megan McDonald illustrated by Peter H. Reynolds

THE GLOB! IT CRAWLS! IT CREEPS! IT OOZES!

Glip! Glop! Gloop! "It crawls! It creeps! It oozes! It comes from outer space!" "First it was some sort of blob stuck to his hand. Then it landed on his head. It kept getting bigger and bigger and BIGGER. And then, all of a sudden, he just sort of... disappeared!" "What do you mean... disappeared?" "The thing... it ATE him. Right before my eyes." "Was it a monster?" "It was worse than a monster. It was THE GLOB!" "AAAAAGGGHHH!" "Aaagh!" Stink screamed. He pulled his T-shirt up over his eyes so he would not have to look at the movie screen.

"Whose brainy idea was it to come to the drivein movies, anyway?" Stink said, with a shiver in his voice. "Yours," said Mom, Dad, and Judy at the same time. "Well, I thought it would be cool to get to sit in the car and watch a movie. Outside. Under the stars." The Stardust, an old drive-in movie theater like the kind that had been around when Mom and Dad were kids, had just reopened in Frog Neck Lake. "It is cool," said Judy. "And dark," said Stink.

Fest, Stink. You wanted to see an old monster movie. It's supposed to be freaky." Stink couldn't bear to look at the screen. At the same time, he couldn't bear not to look. He peeked out over the top of his T-shirt. A screaming crowd came running out of a diner. The Glob was oozing down the street. "It's taking over the whole town!" "Nothing will stop it, Doctor! It's the most horrible thing I've ever seen!"
