The Monster Blood Collection Reading Comprehension Questions
by R. L. Stine
Book Summary
The Monster Blood Collection brings together three thrilling Goosebumps stories about Evan Ross and a mysterious, ever-growing green slime. In the first book, Evan buys a can of 'Monster Blood' that quickly expands, causing his dog Trigger to grow huge and threatening to engulf everything in its path, leading to a confrontation with a witch named Sarabeth. The second book sees Evan and his friend Andy accidentally feed Monster Blood to their class hamster, Cuddles, resulting in a giant, rampaging rodent. Finally, in the third installment, Evan accidentally swallows some Monster Blood himself, transforming him into a towering giant and creating a public spectacle as he tries to find an antidote. Each story explores the theme of unintended consequences and the escalating horror of something seemingly harmless growing out of control.
