After a successful night of trick-or-treating, Nathan finds himself surrounded by mountains of Halloween candy. But after eating a few too many treats, he ends up with a tummyache! That night, Peanut Butter Jim takes him back to Cactus Ridge to visit their old friend Dr. Squigglyboom, hoping he has a special elixir to help settle Nathan's stomach.
When they arrive, something strange is happening in Cactus Ridge. The usually lively town is deserted, and all the wormsfolk are hiding! Nathan and PB Jim reunite with Sheriff Grubbs and Dr. Squigglyboom, who reveal that giant gummy worm candies have mysteriously come to life and are bouncing their way through town!
In this stories for kids podcast episode, Nathan and PB Jim join forces with their friends to stop the sugary stampede before Halloween is completely ruined. With enormous, wiggly candies bouncing through the streets and causing chaos around every corner, Nathan and the wormsfolk must come up with a clever plan to save Cactus Ridge from its sweetest disaster yet!
As the adventure comes to an end, Nathan discovers that Halloween candy can be a wonderful treat, but too much of a good thing can sometimes leave you feeling pretty rotten.
