Slamdown Town

ON THE PATH TO WRESTLING GLORY, CAN ONE KID OVERCOME HEADLOCKS, BOOK REPORTS, AND HIS BROTHER’S SMELLY ARMPITS?

OLLIE and his older brother, Hollis, have wrestling in their blood. Their mom was a pro whose dreams of stardom were dashed by Werewrestler, a formidable rule-breaking opponent. Now she’s an overworked, underpaid ref at Slamdown Town, the local arena. Ollie’s goal in life is to avenge his mom—immediately followed by his other goal: to hang his bully of a brother from the roof by his tighty-whities.

But there’s one problem—Ollie has a puny frame. Thus, Ollie has resigned himself to a fate of wrestling mediocrity and wet willies … until the day Hollis gifts him a piece of stale gum purchased on eBay and previously chewed by Professor Pain, Ollie’s number one wrestling idol. Unbeknownst to Hollis, the gum has an unusual side effect: the ability to physically transform Ollie into a pro wrestler. As Big Chew, Ollie is finally able to put Hollis in his place and be a star. But when the fate of the Slamdown Town Arena is threatened, being Big Chew gets a lot more complicated.
