  Chapter 1

  Monday

  Monday is supposed to be a fun day.

  Supposed to be.

  But not this Monday. No way. Uh-uh. Nope. There is nothing fun about this Monday. Nothing at all.

  Today, we are in the gym playing dodge ball.

  I’m not very good at dodge ball because:

  a) I’m not very good at dodging balls,

  b) I’m not very good at throwing balls and;

  c) I’m not very good at any sports.

  Oh man…

  My name is Charlie Chucky, I am in the sixth grade, I love playing Minecraft and I am learning to become a super spy.

  My Dad is the world’s best super spy and he is starting to teach me all his awesome tricks. Lately, I’ve been battling invisible monsters, crazy zombie teachers and super ninjas!

  Life has been pretty crazy and I’ve enjoyed every second of it.

  But as awesome as life is outside of school hours, it still doesn’t save me from the terrors of sixth grade. I still have to deal with girls, really smelly teachers and bullies.

  Big Cooper Stanley is our school’s resident bully.

  He likes to call me ‘Tea Party Charlie.’ He still laughs every time that he says it. Cooper calls me ‘Tea Party Charlie’ because he thinks tea parties are for girls.

  I’ve never even played tea parties but somehow that’s the name that he has invented for me.

  This is Cooper.

  Today, Cooper seems more evil than normal.

  He has already tripped over four teachers, pulled down the trousers of two students and splashed water over three people.

  And it’s not even lunchtime yet!

  That’s a massively crazy rate of bullying – even for Cooper.

  Something has changed in Cooper. He seems bigger, angrier and even nastier.

  I wonder why he is even meaner than usual…

  Chapter 2

  Monday Night

  After the bell rings to end the school day, I hide from Cooper for ten minutes under a bush and then go home to find Dad looking in his shed.

  His shed is where he keeps all his cool super spy stuff.

  His newest toy is a rabbit that does burps containing laughing gas. If you’re ever stuck, you click your fingers and he burps on your command. I tried it when Mom was in the shed and she laughed for the next six hours straight. She was laughing so much that Dad and I even had to cook our own dinner. That was a disaster. We ended up eating toasted pieces of soap. Yep. Mom will never let us cook again.

  In Dad’s shed, there is lots of super cool stuff. There is even a backpack that turns into a jetpack! I am going to have to try that one day soon.

  But Dad isn’t looking at the bunny or the bag. Instead, Dad is searching through his shelves and he looks really worried. He is searching everywhere for something. He is looking under the tins of exploding paint, past the talking bamboo tree and in bottomless water bottle.

  “What’s wrong Dad?” I ask as I walk into the shed.

  “Something is missing from my shed, Charlie.”

  “Like what?”

  “My evil zapper is missing, Charlie. That is a problem.”

  “Evil zapper? What does that do?”

  “Yep, the evil zapper is missing. If you zap a person with the laser from the evil zapper, it turns a person really evil.”

  “Wow. That’s cool.”

  “Not really, Charlie. In the wrong hands, it can change everyone in the world into evil. If someone bad got hold of the zapper, then we would be in big trouble.”

  “So why even invent something like that, Dad?”

  “Well, the scientist at our lab, Dr. C. Mac, was trying to invent something that would change chocolates into vegetables. But he got the formula wrong on the laser by mistake. So instead of being a healthy zapper, it is an evil zapper!”

  “Oh, I’m glad he got that formula wrong.”

  “But the change is bad, Charlie. The evil starts out slowly but then grows quickly. Not only does it change a person’s evil level but it also changes a person’s size. The longer the power of the laser stays on, the bigger they grow. By the end of day one, a person who has been zapped with the laser will be big. By day two, they are bigger. By day three, they are so big that they are like the Hulk. And then… they explode!”

  “Oh no. That does sound bad. So how do you stop the evil?”

  “Well, that’s the trick. You only have to zap them again with the same zapper. One dose of the laser equals evil – two doses of the laser equals really good. Like extra good. If someone gets zapped with the zapper twice, they will turn into the nicest person you’ve ever met.”

  “That’s easy then. If anyone starts to turn evil, we will just zap them with another one of the zappers.”

  “That’s the problem, Charlie. There was only one zapper ever made. We need to find that evil zapper.”

  “Who would have taken it?”

  “I don’t know Charlie, but it looks like someone broke in through that window last night. We have to find who took it because if they have zapped themselves, they are going to turn very nasty, very quickly.”

  Chapter 3

  Tuesday

  The next day in class, super-bully Cooper seems to be getting even more evil.

  And totally bigger.

  He has grown at least a few inches overnight and packed on a whole lot of muscle. That is weird… and so not fair. He was already the strongest kid in class and now he looks as strong as the teachers.

  When I walk out of class for a break in the morning, I see Cooper pulling a massive wedgie on Steve.

  Poor Steve.

  I wish I could help.

  By lunchtime, Cooper has grown even bigger. While I am sitting in the cafeteria with Harley, Cooper walks up to our table and swipes our lunch.

  Usually, he would ask if he could take our lunch, and we would say no, and then he would take it anyway. But today he hasn’t even asked!

  Cooper walks around the cafeteria and takes everyone’s lunch – even the teacher’s lunch!

  And then…

  He eats it all!

  He eats at least one hundred lunches in one sitting!

  Wow.

  This is well crazy.

  By the time the afternoon has come around, Cooper is getting further out of control.

  “Charlie, do you think something is up with Cooper?” Harley asks as we sit in math class.

  “What do you mean?” I ask.

  “He’s bigger, stronger, meaner and uglier than ever before. Something must be up with that dude.”

  Then it occurs to me!

  Of course!

  Cooper must have broken i
nto my Dad’s shed and stole the evil zapper!

  It explains everything… expect why Cooper is growing uglier. I guess that’s just the way he is.

  “We have a problem,” I say to Harley. “I think Cooper has stolen my Dad’s evil zapper.”

  “What does an evil zapper do, Charlie?”

  “The clue is in the name, Harley. It makes people evil if they are zapped with it!”

  “That doesn’t sound good.”

  “It isn’t, Harley. Cooper is only going to get worse. And bigger. He could rip this whole school apart by the end of tomorrow… with everyone in it. And then he is going to explode.”

  “Explode?”

  “That’s right. By the end of day three, he is going to grow so big that he is going to explode!”

  “Oh no. How do we stop him?”

  “The evil is reversed if he is zapped twice with the zapper. We have to get the zapper back and zap him again!”

  “That’s easy!” Harley smiles.

  “Yep. So let’s go get it now before he becomes really evil.”

  As we walk back into the classroom, we realize that getting the zapper back might not be so easy…

  Cooper has grown enormous – even bigger than our old gym teacher that used to work out at the gym so much that he couldn’t fit through the doors anymore.

  As we walk into the classroom, Cooper is holding the teacher by her chair - telling Miss Jackson that he is not doing his homework tonight.

  Cooper really doesn’t like homework.

  Luckily, Miss Jackson agrees not to hand out homework tonight.

  Whew!

  For once, evil did something good…

  Chapter 4

  Tuesday Night

  When I get home after school, I try to explain to my Dad that Cooper might have taken the evil zapper and zapped himself with it.

  “That’s crazy, Charlie,” Dad says. “That shed is so secure that no kid would be able to break in there and steal stuff. No way. The shed has the highest level of security on the planet.”

  I don’t tell Dad that I break into the shed every night after school to play with all the cool stuff. You see, the shed might have the best security system on the planet but Dad always forgets to turn it on.

  Just last week, I broke into the shed and took a sip of the ‘Smart Juice.’ It was totally awesome. On that day, I got an A+ on my math test, an A+ on my history test and a C- on my sit-up test in gym class. ‘Smart Juice’ doesn’t help sit-ups.

  “But Dad…” I try to tell Dad about Cooper.

  “No, Charlie. There is no way any child could break into that shed. No child would be smart enough to do that,” Dad says.

  “But…”

  “Nope. Definitely not. Not a chance. That shed is secure. Come to think of it, nobody could have broken in there. I must have dropped the zapper when I was looking at it.”

  “But…” I try to tell Dad again.

  “Sorry son. I can’t stay and chat. I’ve got to go and look for the zapper.”

  It looks like Dad isn’t going to be any help, which means I am going to have to stop Cooper by myself. That worries me.

  If he has zapped himself with the evil zapper, then he is going to be wild tomorrow. He is going to be stronger, quicker and totally meaner.

  Oh man. Tomorrow is not going to be a fun day at school.

  And the day after that, Cooper is going to explode!

  That’s not good.

  If Cooper figures out that the zapper could change other people to evil, then he will probably zap everyone!

  Oh no.

  Chapter 5

  Wednesday

  I wake up on Wednesday morning worried about stopping Cooper. I am going to have to figure out a way to steal the evil zapper off him and zap him again. I will have to find a way to distract him long enough to steal the zapper.

  On the bus ride to school, I think about the best way to distract Cooper - probably with a bacon, tomato, popcorn and chocolate sandwich. Yep. That will distract him for long enough to steal the zapper.

  But as soon as I arrive at school, I notice that Cooper is the least of my problems…

  My friend Mel is punching walls, Tony is throwing books across the hallway and Jack just looks plain scary.

  Everyone is becoming evil!

  No!

  Cooper must have used the evil zapper on almost everyone in the whole school!

  Oh no!

  Quickly, I dodge through all the evil people and start looking for Cooper. I thought that dealing with Cooper was bad enough but this is really bad!

  I have to get that evil zapper back!

  If I can get my hands on the evil zapper, then I can zap everyone and reverse the effects of evil. But as soon as I start to get past all the evil people, they try to attack me!

  I run away from them as fast as I can!

  I have to find Cooper and get that zapper back!

  Then I see him…

  Uh-oh. Cooper is massive! Like well massive!

  “Cooper!” I call out.

  He looks at me but ignores me. Then I notice that he has the evil zapper under his belt!

  I have to get it back!

  I need that zapper so I can zap everyone in the school to save them.

  But Cooper is huge… wait, what is he doing?

  Oh no - he is kidnapping my friend Mia!

  “Charlie! Help!” she calls out.

  No!

  Chapter 6

  Wednesday afternoon

  Sneakily, I follow Cooper as he walks out of the school with Mia in his arms.

  He carries Mia until he reaches Mia’s house. I can see that he still has the evil zapper.

  I need that zapper!

  I hide behind a tree and watch as he takes Mia into her backyard. I sneak behind the next tree to see what he is going to do with Mia.

  I have to do something!

  I have to save Mia before he zaps her and turns her evil too.

  And I have to zap Cooper before he gets too big and explodes!

  Chapter 7

  Wednesday Night

  What are they doing?!

  From where I am hiding behind the tree, I can’t see what Cooper is doing to Mia. Anything could be happening! I have to do something now!

  Right.

  It’s go time!

  I jump out to stop Cooper from hurting Mia.

  But…

  But he is playing tea parties with Mia.

  “What are you doing?” I ask him.

  “I’m playing tea parties,” he replies in a deep voice. “Go away and let me play my favorite game.”

  “Help me, Charlie. He’s holding me hostage to play tea parties,” Mia whispers.

  I lunge at Cooper to grab the zapper from him… but he grabs me!

  Oh no!

  This is not good!

  But as soon as Cooper grabs me, Mia kicks Cooper in the shin!

  “Ouch! No fair! That hurt!” Cooper yells.

  He drops me and grabs hold of his shin. This is our chance to escape!

  “Quick! Inside!” I yell to Mia.

  She runs beside me and we race into Mia’s house.

  Cooper shouts at us, “How dare you ruin my tea party! I’m going to zap you with the evil ray zapper and make you bad like me!”

  He gets in the front door of Mia’s house and grabs the evil zapper.

  No!

  Cooper tries to zap me!

  But before he zaps me, I grab a mirror and swing it around.

  The laser reflects off the mirror and bounces right back at him!

  He is hit with his own evil ray!

  A double dose of the evil zapper will turn him into an extra good boy!

  As soon as Cooper is hit with the laser, he begins to shrink in size.

  Wow!

  The double dose of the laser has worked!

  “Oh no,” Cooper says. “What have I done?”

  “You’ve caused a lot of trouble, Cooper.”

>   “I’m sorry, Charlie,” Cooper looks sad. “And I never meant to hurt your feelings by calling you ‘Tea Party Charlie.’ I called you that because I wanted someone else to play tea parties with me.”

  He must be turning back to good… hopefully even nicer than before.

  Chapter 8

  Thursday Morning

  On Thursday morning, I return to the school prepared for a fight. I have the evil zapper that I took from Cooper and I am wearing my rocket backpack.

  Cooper was super nice after he was zapped with a double dose of the evil zapper. He even offered to take my next math test for me. I said no – because he usually receives a D+ on a math test. That’s even worse than me.

  As soon as I step in the doors of the school, I see that the situation is even worse than I expected. Everyone is starting to go really bad. The consequence of the evil zapper is easy to see.

  There are nerds eating history books, teachers throwing chairs and jocks dancing on tables. Everyone has gone crazy.

  “Hey!” I shout out. “There is only one cupcake left in the cafeteria!”

  Everyone runs to the cafeteria, pushing each other out of the way. They all want that last cupcake. As soon as everyone is in the room, I swing the doors shut and lock them.

  Now, I just need to zap everyone in the cafeteria with the evil zapper and they will all turn back to normal.
