R.l.stein / Goosbumps = Process?! No Way

I haven't read Goosebumps in like 11 years, which shocks me that it has been that long. But I do remember the growth ones quite well as they were the only known content for me before I would eventually discover growth stories online (Nadie8's site being the first place I ever found on the web).

Anyway, based on what I remember, the Monster Blood stories were the only ones that featured any kind of growth. The all involved the same male protagonist who I believe was either in middle or high school and who I believe was named Evan. What follows below are pretty much the spoilers on what growth goes on, though I figure it's worth mentioning before you decide if you want to spend the time and money to get the books as they're all male growth.

In the first story, I believe it is Evan's dog that eats the goo that is called Monster Blood and becomes gigantic, though Evan does have a nightmare about waking up one day as a giant stuck in his room. The dog does go back to normal by the end.

In Monster Blood II, the classroom hamster eats the Monster Blood and becomes a gigantic beast. In an attempt to fight it, Evan eats some of the Monster Blood and gets something like taller than the lockers (is what I remember R.L. Stine describing it) but isn't big enough to stop the hamster. The Monster Blood ends up wearing off anyway and both he and the hamster instantly revert back to normal.

In Monster Blood III, Evan has this really annoying nerdy cousin named Kermit (I don't know why I remember that name), and he tries to pull some kind of prank on Kermit by rigging some kind of bread Kermit was baking to explode in Kermit's face by using Monster Blood to make it expand faster, but when it explodes, Evan accidentally swallows some of it and over a period of minutes grows into a 30 or 40 or 50 foot giant or something (with his clothes because apparently the goo covered his clothes too). I think Kermit figures out some kind of shrink serum to shrink Evan back to normal. In the middle of the night, Evan wakes up and realizes the shrink serum was too powerful as he has now shrunken to the size of a doggie chew toy. As far as I know, this was the last Monster Blood book.

What disappoints me is that Evan has a female best friend that is in every story with him and is pretty much the one he hangs out with all the time, and yet at no point does she ever end up eating the Monster Blood. It's always Evan. I read them hoping that by the end the girl would eat the Monster Blood but she never does. *sigh* Also keep in mind, in all these stories the growth doesn't really happen until near the latter half of the book.
