User Summary: Eating food in the off-limits basement of your aunt's house proves to be a bad idea - it causes your size to change dramatically.
Demian's Thoughts:

Like the previous book this is strange, but not in a good way... The plot is ludicrous (which is to be expected from this series, I suppose) and the novelties in the gameplay (which include some coin flipping and choices dependent on time of week or age of the reader) are pointless and uninteresting.

Stockton's Thoughts:

The plot of this book is pretty odd; I'd figure my chances of getting serious food poisoning from purple peanut butter are better than my chances of changing size rapidly. The style and humour here are both par for the course in this series. It's random, meaningless drivel - yet over the years, I've still come back to it fairly often. Beware of the Purple Peanut Butter isn't a great book by any means, but I've always found it a fun diversion.
