Monster by Mistake

Warren Patterson is an 8 year-old boy with allergies who has been enchanted by a magical jewel from Fenrath, a mysterious parallel world. Because of a spell that goes awry, Warren turns into a 7-foot-tall blue Monster whenever he sneezes. He can't return to his normal form until he sneezes again and it's anyone's guess when that may happen!

Roz mistakenly gives the Book of Spells away to the school rummage sale. When the kids and Johnny attempt to get it back, they discover a mysterious white-haired man has bought it. They follow him to the Pickford Museum while Billy Castleman, anxious, as always, to expose the Monster, follows them.

Johnny, the ghost, is getting careless. He fits in and out of the kitchen during family meals and makes continuous ghostly 'bumps' in the attic. When Roz sees Johnny invisibly lift the top off the chili pot behind them, she's convinced they have a ghost. Tom's skeptical, but Aunt Dolores suggests Roz call in a ghost exterminator, which she does - the flamboyant Dr. Malamar.

Warren wakes up with a killer cold that has him sneezing and turning into the Monster every five seconds. Someone at school is sure to see him transform, so Tracy suggests he stay home. But it's Pizza Day, which means that Warren gets his favorite slice of pepperoni pizza for lunch. He doesn't want to miss that, so Johnny sticks a clothespin on Warren's nose to short circuit the sneezefest and off he goes.

When Tracy attempts to make a magic hot fudge sundae for Warren and Johnny with the Jewel and the Book of Spells, she accidentally turns her parents into ice cream sundaes instead! She has no idea how to turn them back, so the kids are forced to ask advice from Gorgool, the original owner of the Book. Gorgool proposes a deal, Gorgool will turn their parents back into human beings if the kids agree to let Gorgool use the Book and Jewel to free himself from the glass ball.

Warren turns into the Monster and kicks his best friend Freddy's prize soccer ball so far it burst on a fence. Freddy's mad and won't speak to Warren, so Warren begs Tracy to use the Jewel and the Book of Spells to repair the ball magically. It works - but it also accidentally turns Freddy into a soccer ball too - a wise-cracking soccer ball Monster that is!

When the Monster 'appears' at a rehearsal for the school talent show, he steals Billy Castleman's thunder and gets the attention of all the kids. Billy vows revenge he fakes his own kidnapping and leaves a ransom note demanding a 'a year's supply of red licorice and gummi worms, or you'll never see Billy again.' He signs it, 'The Monster'.

The Patterson family goes camping for the weekend. Warren's worried he won't measure up to his Dad's expectations of him in the great outdoors Tom's a gung-ho camper with a love of the wild. On the way up to '˜Carl's Colossal Campsite', Tom tells the kids the blood-curdling tale of the '˜Campsite Creeper', a mythical monster said to haunt the hills around '˜Carl's'.

When Roz and Tom go out for the night, they leave Tracy in charge of baby-sitting Warren. The kids are delighted to be home alone even Johnny's absent for the evening. Warren can hang out as the Monster all night if he wants and Tracy's got a special spell she wants to try. If it works, she'll learn how to fly!

Gorgool and the Servant finally get their hands on the Jewel and the Book long enough to cast a spell attempting to crack Gorgool out of his ball. Luckily, Tracy and the Monster get there in time to interrupt the spell and grab the Book and Jewel back. Some of the magic blue rays fall haphazardly, however, hitting the Monster who, as Warren again, suddenly begins to shrink.

When British teen singing sensation Leena comes to Pickford to shoot a video and give a concert, Warren can hardly contain his excitement he just loves Leena. He'd sure like to meet her! And in attempting to evade Billy Castleman, who is determined to snap a photo of Warren as the Monster, the Monster unexpectedly gets his wish. He stumbles into an old warehouse and right into Leena's rock video rehearsal. What else can he do but, start dancing?

Warren's on his way to the store for the first time completely on his own. All he has to do is get some bread and milk for his Mom and then head on home. But Tom throws a fit when he finds out that Warren's been sent off alone to the store and demands that Tracy follow him. Tracy doesn't want to she's got plans with her girlfriend, Susan. So she gets Warren in her sights and puts a protective spell on him just to keep him safe.
