Title: Please Don't Be Mine, Julie Valentine (Hippo)
Description: There's something creepy about Brett Bergen's next door neighbor. He's got a greenhouse full of crazy-looking flowers -- and on a dare, Brett takes one and gives it to high school cheerleader Julie Valentine. It was just supposed to be a stupid seventh-grade joke.

But weird things begin to happen after Julie touches that flower. She starts acting really strange, and that makes Julie's boyfriend, superjock Trey Boice, *really* mad. Brett better look out -- because Trey's got a saber-toothed German Shepherd, Killer, that does anything his master wishes.

Can Brett get Julie back to normal before he becomes dog food?
