"IT'S TIME FOR A TAG TEAM AS BIG CHEW JUMPS BACK INTO THE RING
OLLIE AND TAMIKO saved Slamdown Town, and wrestling is popular again! The rise in popularity draws two newbies to the ring: the Krackle Kiddos, Linton Krackle’s son and daughter. They may be puny middle schoolers, but they’re somehow unbeatable. Something’s fishy about Linton’s kids … and it’s not just the prize krackle fish on display at Krackle Manor.
Soon the son and daughter of the Slamdown Town CEO are changing the arena into something it’s not. This identical duo is up to no good, and no one—not even The Referee or Werewrestler—can stop them.
No one, that is, until Tamiko transforms into Game Over—the combo-savvy wrestler with a flair for turning her opponents into a pile of pixels. When Ollie joins Game Over as Big Chew, the two best friends become the Ragtag Team. They determine to find out the truth behind the Krackle Kiddos’ winning streak and give them a run for their money in the ring while they’re at it. Being tag team partners with your best friend is awesome … but when it comes down to it, can Ollie and Tamiko make for the kind of winning combo that sniffs out clues and takes down the competition?"
"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."
