Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner Josh Schneider has aged his character James a little , since he appeared in Tales for Very Picky Eaters.
This story begins innocently enough with Jimmy doing his homework. When “an extremely annoying howl” causes him to head to the secret door in his bedroom closet where Jimmy will transform into KID AMAZING. Now dressed to keep his identity secret, he answers the commissioners call to stop the howling. Kid Amazing reassures the commissioner he will take care of his ‘arch-nemesis, the Blob!’ Kid Amazing follows the ‘stink trail’ to the Blob’s lair. With tools from his utility belt, he spritzes the stink cloud with his de-stinking spray. Then, he cleans up the floor with his clown print de-sliming wipes. Kid Amazing is now face-to-face with the Blob, but his utility belt is empty. “The howl is melting his brain. He dives for cover. Then he sees it: the Blob’s howl neutralizer.” Kid Amazing pops the howl neutralizer ( a binky / pacifier) into the Blob’s mouth. The commissioner [aka: mom] will see about getting a reward [ a cookie] for Kid Amazing’s services. Kid Amazing lets the commissioner know that the Blob also “needs a new stink-containment unit.”
Spoiler Alert! There is a surprise ending.
